Coffee can reduce your breast size.

Bangdex News - you get used to drinking three cups of coffee per day? Be careful, because coffee can reduce your breast size.

The researchers believe that too much caffeine in the body can affect the hormones and lead to increasingly smaller breast size. The more coffee a woman consumed, the smaller the size of her breasts.

Nearly 300 women participated in this study. They were asked to answer questions about how much coffee is usually drunk each day. Their breast size was then measured.

Based on the research that has been published in the British Journal of Cancer, drinking three cups of coffee or more per day may reduce breast size. As many as half of the respondents have gene mutations that arise due to coffee intake. This also affects the breast volume.

"Drinking coffee has a major effect on breast size," said head of research, Helena Jernstrom from Lund University in Sweden, as quoted by The Telegraph.

However, for coffee lovers do not worry that your breasts will disappear. "Breast is only going to shrink, and not likely to disappear," he said.

Women who drank more than three cups of coffee per day breasts will shrink by 17 percent. This is compared with those who drank less than three cups of coffee per day.

The researchers also found that this increased risk in women who have large breasts. But unfortunately, this study can not conclude whether drinking large amounts of coffee per day may affect breast density.

Info is encouraging coffee consumption appeared to have a positive impact on breast health, which reduces the risk of breast cancer.

The researchers believe that the effects of coffee have an impact on the hormone estrogen and can affect testosterone levels. Actually no problem drinking coffee every day, as long as not excessive.

Benefits of Gas Industry of Japan Nuclear Crisis

Daichi Perfecture Fukushima

Bangdex News - the ongoing crisis in the nuclear power complex Fukushima, Japan certainly has hurt the nuclear industry, which was located in the resurrection.

"This at least is a disaster for the entire nuclear industry, even after workers Fukushima racing against time to bring back to the situation under control," says Ravi Krishnaswamy, According to Ravi, various countries around the world have established a policy to introduce nuclear power as one alternative fuel.

Currently, several countries including Germany and Switzerland faced with the choice to shut down power plants that already exist or delay the development of the advanced stage that has been planned. However, many other countries including the United States, Italy, Poland, and Indonesia has committed to continue their plans.

In a rapidly changing situation, he explained, natural gas is likely to be products that make a profit. Demand for natural gas rose along with the increasing distribution of cargo liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Japan.

Increased demand is expected to tend to take place in the long term rather than short term. Approximately half a dozen power plants that have been closed in Japan will be supported by the system power source of natural gas and coal.

He added that the scale of damage, it appears that the act of closing nuclear power plants will last for at least three years, if not forever.

"Most likely the price for coal and natural gas will rise in the short term and continue to rise from the current price in the long run," he said.

Japan is the largest importer of LNG in the world and nearly 70 percent of Japan's annual LNG import from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. In fact, before disaster strikes, natural gas prices expected to rise to U.S. $ 5 to U.S. $ 6 mmbtu in 2012 in line with increasing demand.

Events that occurred recently, according to Ravi, helped encourage increased demand is higher. It was proved later by natural gas sales exceed forecast figures in 2012.

"The transfer of gas supplies from regular customers in Europe to the Japanese influence on rising gas prices in Europe," he said.

Qatar as an example. Encouraged to supply additional LNG to Japan has raised fears in Europe that now customers will have no reserves when demand increases.

Qatar to supply about 12 percent of Japan's total LNG imports in 2009. LNG supplies from Qatar to Japan is expected to double in 2012 compared to 2009 to offset the shortage of energy supplies caused by reduced supply from nuclear power.

Apart from that there is, he explains, other conventional sources such as coal seam gas (CSG) and shale gas could be utilized to meet the demand for gas. Coal seam gas project in Indonesia and Australia are likely to be the sector most likely to be developed after the disaster of Japan.

CSG projects in Indonesia and Australia, according to him, also get the media pressure associated environmental impacts caused. However, the adverse impact of the CSG industry on the community is not too large when compared with the direct impact of the results that may be generated by nuclear power disaster.

Most of the CSG to LNG project in Australia today, Ravi adds, tend to have a much better development.
