Coffee And Nuts Will Give You Manboobs

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

We couldn't bring ourselves to post pictures of major manboobs, so this will have to do.

Are you a man? Do you drink instant coffee and/or eat Brazilian nuts? No? Okay, good, we'll still be your friend.

However, if you're a man who does either of these things, you're in danger of growing manboobs, according to a strange new study...

The products contained far higher levels of gender-bending chemicals, known as phytoestrogens, than previously thought.

Dr Gunter Kuhnle, of the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit in Cambridge, analysed 500 foods and drinks.

Instant coffee had 1,833 micrograms of the oestrogen-like chemicals per 100g, while Brazil nuts had 867 micrograms.

Phytoestrogens are known to cause fertility problems in animals and may give women a greater risk of breast cancer.

This was reported in the Sun (UK), so don't take our word for it. After all, the MRC Dunn Human Nutrition Unit in Cambridge sounds like half the spam e-mails in our inbox right now... but, just to be on the safe side, maybe avoid that stuff for now?

Via the Sun.
