Caffeine does not appear to make women more susceptible to benign breast disease or breast cancer, contrary to other studies, researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. Scientists from Israel and the New York Medical College at Valhalla studied 854 women and found no association between consumption of coffee, tea, cola and chocolate and breast lumps known as benign breast disease. The Israeli scientists also reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute that they found no link between caffeine and breast cancer.
