Can coffee really affect your growth?

Question

Can coffee really affect your growth?

Answer 1

Drinking coffee can stunt your growth while you are still growing, however, it won't affect your growth if you are already fully grown.

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Coffee stunting your growth is as valid as placing books on ones head to r****d growth. It retards only one thing....

Answer 3

No just something parents told kids.

Answer 4

Caffeine (mainly used for coffee) has no evidence of stunting growth. There are many people who are tall and drink it. It seems to have good side effects as long as you don't drink too much (1-2 cups a day is good), it can improve your alertness and attitude. It can reduce the risks to a few serious diseases however, if you drink too much (like 5) then it can cause depression, insomnia and other disorders.

Answer 5

I started drinking coffee when I was young, and caffeinated drinks long before that...and all I got up to was 5' 6". So, there might be something to that.
