Does caffeine really make you shorter?!
Answers: People say that if you drink coffee or energy drinks with caffeine, it makes you shorter or it stops your growth, is that a myth or is that really true?
I agree, I started having a coffee in the morning when I was 10 years old in 1967, I grew to a height of 6' 4 1/2 " tall and have weight as much as 300 lbs so it never stunted my growth, to bad, I wear size 15 shoes.
never heard of that.
No
i heard it stunts your growth
i don't think so
It's not caffine, it's aspartame that stunts your growth.
you dont get shorter.. but if you drink it when ur short you wont grow taller.
just stunts your growth, so does gluten.
haha prolly because i drink vitimin water alot and iced coffee and starbucks things and last year i was 5'1 and now im 5'0 but i also dont like milk so .. i have calcium thingss hahhaa.
no it doesn't
An active ingredient in the caffiene goes into your joints and takes out nourishment needed to grow, so yes caffeine does make you not grow as much as you can, and it can give you bone problems
It is true. I have had 6 cups of coffee today, I was 6 foot this morning, now I am 4foot 8 inches.
God I hope not :D
I work at a Pizza Place and I drink pop everyday...
Could explain why im 5'1ish.
XD
have a nice night! :)
it is a lie.
it that were true I'd be 3 ft. tall .
Not true.
I wouldn't even call it a myth, as I've never heard such dribble.
If that's true, it would explain why I'm only 5'2. Soda was the main thing I drank when I was growing up. (I was pretty stubborn too.) It's either that or genetics.
maybe it is true or a myth. I drink lot of energy drink and it is not making me short. Maybe allowed a psychology in the field of development will possible answer this question.
i drink coffe regularly im only 13 an im 5'11 so i would say thats a myth

It's just a myth!
no
myth ..... my mother also used to tell me to eat carrots, and it was good for my eyes (or made your hair curly) ... more myth... I assume you meant to ask if it stunted your growth. It sure isn't going to make you shorter, as in shrinking you!
i dnn't now for sure but i hope not
My mom used to say that. Something about it stunting your growth during puberty. I know too much is not good for your bones, weakens them so maybe that is the rationale??
caffiene does stunt your growth and it also decreases iron in your body and makes your bones weak and also gives you headaches
