Caffeine has had its fair share of bad press in the past, but this one gets the prize ... the booby prize.

A new study reveals that drinking caffeine over an extended period of time can make a woman's breasts shrink. Regis filled Kelly in on the news during a recent episode and said that he thinks cutting back on the coffee "could help." Why? Because as little as three cups of coffee or other caffeinated beverages a day can impact estrogen levels, subsequently causing breasts to shrink. But don't worry too much -- according to the study author, "They will get smaller, but the breasts aren't just going to disappear." Whew! Good to know.

Coffee has some health perks so if you like a cuppa Joe there's no need to avoid it. But maybe you should opt for decaffeinated.
