Does caffeine affect fibrocystic breast disease?
Fibrocystic breast disease is a condition in which women develop noncancerous lumps in their breasts. Some experts urge women with this condition to avoid caffeine. But current research does not indicate a strong link between the two. More studies are needed. In the meantime, women with fibrocystic disease might benefit from trying to reduce or avoid caffeine. If no effect appears after several months, these women could resume having caffeine in moderation.
