!.!.!.or is that just something adults tell kids to keep them from drinking it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Coffee stunts your growth: No!.
Research suggests that coffee consumption has no effect on height!. This myth was started decades ago when it was thought that caffeine in coffee may be a risk factor for osteoporosis, and subsequently lead to reduced bone mass!. However, much of the previous research that linked caffeinated beverages and osteoporosis were made in populations that also had low calcium intakes!. These people were more likely replacing calcium-rich milk with coffee or caffeinated sodas!. Low calcium intakes are clearly linked to reduced bone health!.

More recent studies suggest that even if caffeine does offset calcium absorption, the effect is both slight and easily offset by adding some milk in your coffee!. Of course, you’ll also need an appropriate daily dose of calcium throughout the day from low-fat dairy, fortified foods, certain greens and/or supplements!.

So coffee won’t stunt your kid’s growth, should you still limit their consumption!? Yes, because there are other potential adverse side effects including stomach discomfort, nervousness, shakiness, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, and irritability!. If your child is diagnosed with ADD or a behavioral issue, caffeinated coffee may temporarily make matters worse!.
