Does Coffee stunt your growth?

Question

I heard from a friend that coffee stunts (or stops) the amount you grow (height). Does anyone have any evidence or links that this is wrong. I'm suppose to be 6' 2' and I just wanted to make sure that drinking coffee won't stop this and make me the short one of my friends.

Answer 1
