In recent years there has been
written about coffee and
with various diseases. One of these is
fibrocystv breast disease — the most
common cause ol lumps and tenderness
in the female breast.
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous
system, that is, allays drowsiness and
increases the Bow of thought. Although
caffeine certainly qualifies as a drug, the
maior source of caffeine (or most
is food; namely, coffee, tea, cocoa, and
Legend  credits   the  discovery  of
caffeine's benefits to a prior of an Arabian
convent. Shepherds reported that goats
would not sleep, but frolicked all night
after eating berries from the coffee plant.
Hoping to rouse himself for the long
prayerful nights, the prior brewed a drink
using those berries.
Studies show no relation between
caffeine and breast disease

tenzed by multiple benign cysts or
lumps in the breast that may be tender or
painful. These cysts are believed to result
from an exaggerated breast tissue
response induced by the natural ebb and
flow of ovanan hormones.
Indeed, rapid fluctuation in the size of
breast masses as well as increased
tenderness during the premenstrual
phase of the cycle characterize the prob¬
lem. Cysts are usually of greatest concern
because they can be confusing during
breast self-examination and often need to
be biopsied in order to distinguish from
Furthermore, women with cystic
breasts are thought to be at somewhat
higher risk for the development of breast
In 1979, an Ohio surgeon. Dr. John
Minton, published an article about the
alleged causal association between coffee
drinking and the development of fibrocys¬
tic disease and its prompt disappearance
with abstinence from caffeine.
The popular press eagerly informed
American women to abstain from caffeine
to avoid or eliminate fibrocystic breast
The findings of subsequent investiga¬
tors have not confirmed that association.
This is not meant to imply that Dr. Min-
ton's findings were falsified, but point to
weaknesses in the study design: if you
take a group of women with fibrocystic
breast disease, eliminate all caffeine from
their diet and most of them experience
disease remission, it docs not necessarily
follow that this change was due to caf¬
feine, particularly when you consider the
fluctuating nature of this disease.
In fact, a study following Dr. Mmton's
work divided the subjects with one group
continuing and the other discAr.ttnuing
their caffeine intake. This study found
similar improvements in fibrocystic
breast disease in both groups over time.
The investigators did mention, how¬
ever, that many of those subjects who had
discontinued caffeine reported markedly
decreased breast tenderness.
In light of the studies reported to date,
caffeine does not appear to play a major
role in fibrocystic breast disease. It seems
reasonable then for those with fibrocystic
breast disease to eliminate caffeine from
their diet for four to six weeks to see if
there is diminished breast tenderness, but
for those without a problem, there is no
clear evidence of an increased incidence
of disease in caffeine drinkers.
Any student who has a question or
concern about breast lumps or breast
self-exam is encouraged to visit the Stu¬
dent Health Center for information,

Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band travel to Japan
Another group of musicians from
CSUF will add to the university's interna¬
tional exposure when the Wind Ensemble
and Jazz Band travel to-Japan in May to
perform for the 1983 Japanese Band
Directors Clinic and in a series of
concerts.
Dr. Lawrence Sutherland conductor
of the ensemble, said the Japanese Band
Directors Association and the Yamaha
Company extended the invitation after
considering the CSUF groups for the past
two years.
Dr. Sutherland said the CSUF band
was chosen by the Japanese on the basis
ordmgs produced during
the past six years and conversations with
respected U.S. directors who have heard
the band at conferences and meetings.
Performances at the clinic May 13-17
will include a large amount of new music
written for band during the past year, said
Dr. Sutherland, as the CSUF group
serves as clinician in matters of musical
interpretation and style.
Several concerts featuring mucic spe
cially prepared for the tour will be
recorded by CBS-Sony for a disc to be
released in the U.S. and Japan.
Concerts before and after the clinic are
planned in some of the finest concert halls
including the Mushashino Academy in
Tokyo, Fresno's sister city of Kochi,
Osaka, and the capital of the sister state
of California, Shizouka.
A 45-minute show will be filmed in
Tokyo for NHK Television.
The Band C rectors Clinic will be held
at the Yamaha Music Camp in MENU-
NO-SATO, Japan, and the Yamaha
Music Company will provide the band
with lodging, meals and ground transpor
tation for the five day program.   ■
Dr. Sutherland said other travel cosfs
for the 65-member Wind Ensemble during
the May 7-21 tour will be defrayed
through a local fund-raising effort and
monies provided through university
He said the prestige of being selected
for the Japanese event enhances the rep¬
utation the university has already created
through its annual Collegiate Wind Band
Festival.
Downbeat magazine gave the CSUF
Wind Ensemble its Outstanding Perfom-
ance award in 1980 for its rendition of the
Milhaud Suite Francaise, and College
Band Directors National Association fea¬
tured the Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band
also have been invited to be invited to be
featured durmg the 1983 Western Inter
national Band Conference.
