Coffee and breast cancer I think the most important concern is whether drinking too much coffee will cause breast cancer. Coffee and lobular growths are more likely to cause lobular growths in women than breast cancer. First of all, it is important to reiterate that most lobular growths are not necessarily related to breast cancer; secondly, there is no relationship between the pain level and severity of lobular growths; thirdly, coffee is not the culprit of lobular growths, but at best an “accomplice”. If your health is not good recently and you have unbearable chest pain before your period, it is recommended that a low-fat diet and a reduced intake of caffeine-rich foods such as coffee, cola, tea and chocolate may ease the pain. Can I drink coffee while breastfeeding Moms have endured the pain of quitting coffee since they were pregnant. So can you drink coffee while breastfeeding or not? My attitude is: there is no need to put up with it anymore. Foreign literature reports that 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day (less than 300 mg of caffeine/day) is safe for both mother and baby. Breast milk has its own protective barrier, and very little caffeine actually enters the breast milk. However, premature or sick babies have immature intestinal tracts and poor metabolism in their young livers, which may cause damage. Of course the timing of drinking coffee is also very important, it is best to sip a cup between two milk meals. This will avoid the peak of caffeine concentration in the body. By the time the next feeding is done, the metabolism is basically finished and the baby is minimally affected. But then again, every baby is different, and it is possible that a very small amount of caffeine can cause TA excitement and irritability. Of course, mothers can rest assured that this is only the “excitatory effect” of caffeine, and the baby will return to normal after metabolizing it, and it will have no effect on the child’s physical and mental development. If you are in a dilemma, try decaffeinated or decaffeinated coffee. After all, there is absolutely no need to beat yourself up when you treat yourself occasionally on the arduous road of bringing up a child. Can I drink more coffee? After all the good things said about coffee, is it okay to drink it every day as water for fun? Of course not! Coffee lovers know that coffee has a significant diuretic effect, causing frequent trips to the toilet. Another effect of coffee is the excitatory effect of caffeine, often people drink the heart will have a deer in the headlights throbbing, but this will not cause health problems, feeling sick friends can not drink, but drink it does not have to be nervous.
