Question:

Does caffine make someone whos still growing shorter?

My step dad used to always tell me that caffine would stunt someones normal growth. I never really believed him tho. I just wondered if anyone else has heard of that.


Answers:
Yeah, I got that one too, but there is no evidence that caffeine stunts your growth. Otherwise all the coke-drinking kids in the country would be midgets.

My mom got tired of having cookie crumbs in her coffee so she gave me my own cup.
