TO: cscottie - just a note to let you know 2 of my sisters and 1 sister-law had problems with lumps and benign cysts in the breasts...all were advised to give up caffeine....all have had NO trouble since giving up the caffeine. There are 5 girls in the family and the problem does not seem to affect the rest of us or our mother. All 3 of these women lead different life styles and right now all I can think of is that link???? We don't know the family history of the sister-in-law, as her mother died when she was 13, but the 5 sisters were all brought up fairly similar. Hope this helps a bit.
