How does coffee stunt your growth?!
Answers: I'm not sure if this is an urban legend, or it is actually true, but if coffee does stunt your growth, how does it do that to your body? How does coffee affect growth (height-wise) in your body??? Is it true coffee stunts your growth, or no??
It's not true. Coffee does not stunt growth. This myth was started decades ago when it was thought that caffeine in coffee may be a risk factor for osteoporosis, which can lead to reduced bone mass. But 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.
Yes, its true. Cigarette smoking and drinking soda pop will do the same thing.
This is not an urban myth. Big Foot is real. John Denver REALLY was a sniper in Vietnam. Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson ARE the same person. Richard Gere REALLY did have an incident with some gerbils. I've PERSONALLY have seen a Chupakabra.
When you drink coffee, you might be taking it to keep yourself awake. From what I understand, if you don't get enough sleep you can't not grow because when you sleep your body stretches out. It probably doesn't make sense but that's what i figured.
It doesn't - urban myth.
