Breasts: They Come In All Shapes & Sizes / Question
Published: October 17, 2001
Dear TeenHealthFX,
A girlfriend of mine heard a rumor that Coke shrinks a girl's chest. Do you know whether this is true or not? It sounds to me like the same thing, as Mt. Dew is for guys - just a rumor.

Dear Rumor About Coke & Chest Size,
A rumor is exactly what this statement is. They should not harm nor alter you growing patterns in any way. They contain caffeine, which is a stimulant, and they also are high in sugar and can cause tooth damage if you are not careful. However, they will not stunt the growth of any of you or your girlfriend's reproductive organs. So rest assured that this rumor is NOT TRUE!!!
