I know that caffeine was recently mentioned as a cause of painful fibrocystic
breasts.  It can also cause pain in the axillae.  I'm wondering if some moms
with this problem are unaware of some sources of caffeine, such as non-cola
soft drinks (Mountain Dew) for example.  Caffeine is listed as an ingredient
in these drinks (at least in the US).  Perhaps these moms need to become avid
label readers.  Bonnie
