Can coffee stop growth?!


Question:

Can coffee stop growth?

I've heard dat if u drink coffee when you're young, you'll stay short and not grow how much you were supposed to


Answers:
That's news to me and it didn't work in my case in any event. I started drinking strong black coffee at age 12. I am over 6' 1". If it did work I sure am glad, as I bump my head enough at this size.

Yes, coffee can slow down growth but not completely stop it. Why? because it has caffeine, anything with caffeine slows down growth, its not just Coffee.

I think that may be an 'old wives tale' like eating the crusts on bread makes your hair curly.

Coffee is a diuretic and as such you should always remember to drink your daily 2 litres+ of a water a day or you will become dehydrated.

It might not slow growth in every person, but I drank a lot of caffeinated drinks (mostly tea and Coke) as a child, and I'm shorter than both my mother and grandmother. I stopped growing when I was 11 years old.

think so....

i realli dont know about this is it true??

Yes its ,true ,young people below 20 shud avoid drinking of coffe ,its better to quit,only for belo 20.as the caffine makes a
effective disturbances in their development cycle .humans are fully grown by the age of 21 ,.even those who are 21+ ,who are heavy caffine drinkers ,become easily fastly older ,their appearence will be differ from the age they have.

Possibly! My older sister is 5'8" and my younger sister is almost 5'10". Me? 5'4".

Guess who has liked coffee since she was about 10?

No, this is a myth fabricated by soft drink companies in the US during the 1940's in order to shift youth preferences from coffee to soda. No research has ever shown growth abnormalities linked to coffee; in contrast, coffee appears to have many positive health benefits, including links to reduced rates of cancer and diabetes (so long as you don't saturate it in sugar!).

i don't know..........i've never heard of that.
