As if there weren’t enough myths, theories and studies about coffee and its effects on the body, a controversial relationship between coffee and breast size is revealed that would make any previous discussion pale.

According to a study conducted by Swedish scientists from Lung University, it was found that women’s breasts reduce in size if they drink at least three cups of coffee per day; this after analyzing a sample of 300 women surveyed about the size of their bust and their drinking habits.

Researcher Helena Jernstroem was looking at data linking the risk of a breast cancer diagnosis to large-busted women when she found a correlation between coffee and breast size. In the study she found that about half of women have the gene responsible for “shrinking” the breasts.

Jernstroem said that they are getting a bit smaller (17%), but they are not going away.

“Anyone who thinks they can distinguish coffee drinkers just by their bra size will be disappointed”.

In addition, those in charge of the study assure that drinking coffee daily helps reduce the risk of developing breast cancer, because it positively affects estrogen levels, a hormone that is related to the development of this type of cancer and is responsible for the volume of the breasts
