Does coffee really stunt your growth?!


Question:

Does coffee really stunt your growth?

i was just wondering. does coffee really stunt your growth? i am 5"5 and i would like to be taller. if coffee did stunt growth, would it stunt my growth when i have stopped growing?


Answers:
My grandmother and mother fed me this line. So I avoided coffee. As a result, I'm 4'11". I'm drinking all the damn coffee I want now.

They also told me green beans make your eyes green and your hair curly. I think they just wanted me to eat green beans. I have neither, and I ate bushels of them.

no....... jesus

yeah man..i started drinking coffee since i was 8 and now im only 5'2''.

No, coffee and caffeine does not stunt your growth. This is a myth. However, coffee will stain your teeth, and has a high caffeine content, which can cause you to become addicted to it.

It doesn't actually stunt your growth but if children drink it during their years of growing, it can deplete some of the nutriants that the body needs for healthy growing and strong bones. But on the other hand, hey, if you like it drink it. You can learn more about coffee on this site.

No but it can cause a number of problems if used in excess.

It isn't just coffee. caffeine stunts growth. It shouldn't after you stopped growing. if that happens see a doctor. its probably a bone thing. take you calcium.
