"Reader Question: I&amp;#039;ve heard that caffeine increases your risk of breast cancer. Is that true? As far as we know it&amp;#039;s not true, so don&amp;#039;t worry. In fact, a recent study (published in the October 13, 2008 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine) looked at the caffeine intake habits of nearly 39,000 women over a 10-year period, and researchers didn&amp;#039;t find any link between breast cancer incidence and caffeine intake. I should point out, however, that some women do experience breast discomfort when they consume caffeine\u2014so even though there&amp;#039;s no tie to cancer, you might want to cut back if you&amp;#039;re experiencing any breast pain or tenderness. Another reason not to overdo it: Too much caffeine can cause nervousness, anxiety, palpitations and nausea. I want to hear from you, so e-mail me your questions at dailywd@womansday.com.
