Does caffeine effect benign breast disease?
[The following answer is from the IFIC, International Food Information Council Foundation. 1100 Connecticut Avenue, N. W. Suite 430. Washington, DC. 20036 (reference in bibliography- Part 8)] A large case-control study conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1986, involving more than 3,000 women, showed no evidence of an association between caffeine intake and benign tumor, fibrocystic breast disease or breast tenderness. [35] Both the NCI and the AMA Council on Scientific Affairs have stated there is no association between caffeine intake and fibrocystic breast disease. [37,26] The original findings suggesting such a relationship have never been corroborated.
