Coffee - does it do a figure good?

I think the general consensus is that coffee, in moderation, is healthy. It's packed with healthy antioxidants and as long as it's paired with skim milk instead of cream and sugar, it's low in calories. And it can give your metabolism a bit of a boost -- something I think we all could use every now and then. Yes, coffee can help you lose weight but that's not always a good thing. According to recent studies out of the UK, drinking coffee can shrink a woman's breasts -- and ladies, I think most of us can agree that this is the last place we want to slim down, right?
However, these findings were true of women who drank three or more cups a day. Stick to one -- two, max -- and you should be fine.
