Blokes who drink instant coffee or scoff nuts may be at greater risk of developing breasts, a study suggests.

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.
