Answers:
It can effectyour bone structure which will most likely stunt your growth. IF she is still young she should probably not drink coffee frequently. It also might give you heart diseases with all the cafeine if you drink more than tfive cups a day. It can increase your blood pressure trastically also. That can give you an irregular heart beat too. I use to be a docter and i had a patient who had a bladder problem and i asked her if she drank much coffee. She said yes, about 2 pots a day. I was SHOCKED!!! no wonder she had a bladder problem. I am surprised that she could still function properly.
it don't really stunt your growth, but the caffeine in the coffee is not really good for your health.
no, but it's probably not good for a youngster.
It's actually a myth that it will stunt growth. But you probably should be concerned if she is drinking a lot of caffeinated coffee. There are lots of studies about the adverse effects of too much caffeine, the most serious of which can be an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. Maybe you could suggest that she have a couple of cups of regular and then switch to decaf for the rest of the day. Otherwise, coffee has been shown to contain antioxidants (which are good) and the coffee in itself is pretty good for you. It's the caffeine that's the problem.
Nothing. It might keep her awake at night, if anything.
The Caffiene is bad for your bones. I don't know if it actually stunts your growth though.
no
