Is it really true that coffee stunts growth?

Answers:
I don't think it does, I've been drinking coffee since I was about 14 and I grew ok! Don't have too much of it though as there are other health risks, which you can find by typing it into google.

no it don't.

i dont think so ......but you are young to be drinking coffee.....

oh yeah i consume coffee a lot now i look like some midget alien lol just kidding anyways i never heard anything like that

Whoever told you that is having you on!!!!!

Yes, and the added hormones make you fat. This is why we have a bunch of short fat kids running around.

alas, just like smoking drinking coffee does stunt your growth
dont worry, small quantities wont effect you

but, getting used to a coffee "burst" in the morning will make you need more caffeine and sugar, this can lead to addiction,

personally, i am 16 and i love to drink coffee, but I have stopped growing, so it wont effect me, even still I only drink in moderation

my view for a morning drink, is that orange juice is the best, it gives you a natural wake up and pleantly on nutrients to keep you healthy

dont be silly if that was true no one would drink it

No, I don't believe it stunts growth. However, it stains your teeth, leaving you looking like a pirate. Arr! lol Really, you should be drinking hot cocoa or tea instead.

Hello:

I know that alot of people will say that coffee doesn't stunt your growth,but I drank some coffee as a teenager and I only grew to 5'6 inches tall,and for a woman that is considered to be short. My mother and her sisters were all 5'10 inches and taller so see what I mean? I am the runt of the family!! :-(
