Fibrocystic breast disease. very confused about effect of coffee?

Uncertain: One italian study done many decades ago showed reduced fibrocystic breast condition with reduced caffeine, but not sure if that still holds true today. See this site too: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/breast-cysts/ds01071/dsection=lifestyle-and-home-remedies.

Me too!: Fibrocystic changes are a spectrum of pathologic findings seen on biopsy. This has morphed into a clinical term for "lumpy-bumpy" breast tissue and/or dense tissue seen on mammography. This is not a disease, just a variant of normal. While caffeine has been implicated as a possible irritant, the proof is iffy, at best. I preach moderation unless one has severe breast pain.
