Well, as if there were already not enough insecurity when it comes to women and breast size, there is another factor that apparently may affect your breast size, besides your genetics.  And it’s something that millions of us do every day.  We enjoy a cup for breakfast, we sometimes have it as a recreational break from the hustle and bustle. 

Heck, it’s even become a cool thing to go get on a date!  It’s drinking coffee, America’s favorite beverage right now, as can be attested by the immense success of Starbucks and other “gourmet” coffee makers and retail establishments where people flock to pay outrageous prices for foo foo coffee drinks. 

You may not need to worry about it if you’re a coffee drinker who doesn’t have more than three cups a day though, because researchers have only found the link between coffee consumption and breasts getting smaller in women who consume three or more cups daily.  However, one of the researchers did caution that the shrinking can be quite noticeable over a period of time, perhaps even shrinking some women down a cup size or so!

So, what do you think the mysterious mechanism might be that makes coffee an enemy of breast size (unless of course you are built like Dolly Parton and would welcome a little nonsurgical shrinkage to your breasts)?

I thought it might be the fact that coffee tends to speed up the metabolism, which could burn more fat, and hence shrink the breast tissue, but then I would think coffee would be used as a terrific weight loss device and it really isn’t.  Of course, your boobs do seem to be the first thing to shrink when you lose weight.  Then I thought it may also be something hormonal, like the coffee has something in it which supresses the estrogen which makes the breasts bigger?
