Is it true that coffee stops your growth?!


Question: Is it true that coffee stops your growth!?
I'm really really tall and I hate the fact that I have to look down at everyone!. Plus being too tall kinda hurts you when it comes to being attractive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
i think tall ppl are attractive!!! There are studies that suggest that coffee does stunt your growth, but if your already tall it wont make you shrink, and it probably wont do anything after puberty (or growing)Www@FoodAQ@Com

The main active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which is a stimulant!. I checked on Wikipedia about the effects of caffeine, and found this: "Scientific studies contradict the common belief that caffeine consumption causes stunted growth in children!. However, as with adults, nausea, urinary urgency, nervousness, or other effects from an elevated caffeine intake via chocolate milk, sodas, cold medicines, iced tea, coffee and other products that are widely used, may be reasons to limit the amount of caffeine that is consumed each day!."

So drinking coffee is not likely to slow down your growth!. Being tall is not so bad as you think!. I grew up shorter than everyone, and believe me, that's way worse!. I became very aware of the love affair this society has with tallness as the ideal!. Being tall is not a disadvantage for male attractiveness, believe me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Coffee does not stunt your growth at all!. Even if it did and you think you are too tall then now what is it that you would want!? If it doesn't stop your growth it sure won't shrink you!. There is nothing to shrink you execpt maybe old age!.

And what gives you the idea that tall people are not attractive!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

dont worry about ur height i kno a girl in 8th grade who was 6 feet tal and is still growing and she still has some pretty awesome friends (like mE :D) so i wouldnt worry about ur height
but yes it has been proven that the more caffiene you intake the slower your body produces

the certain age you are if you drink cofeewhile u r young and still growing then yes it will effect you quite easilyWww@FoodAQ@Com
