Question

Does caffeine actually stop your growth or is this said to scare your children away from soda?

Answer 1

there is no evidence to support this.

Answer 2

excessive caffine isn't good for your bones or nerves, but it doesen't stop your growth, I drank coffee all the time when I was little and I'm 6'4

Answer 3

well I am short and i drink a lot of coffee and soda but my parents are short so I can't really say. But I think it is a myth.

Answer 4

That is a lie. Its said just to scare

children. Wich I think people

shouldn't do to their kids.

But yeah it's not a true fact.

Answer 5

I always drank tea, pepsi and coke growing up and I'm 5'8", so I guess it's a lie.

Answer 6

caffiene kind of causes the calcium to be excreted in the urine

it won't stop your growth but you will lose calcium which is needed for bones

so if you drink a cup of coffee make sure you drink a cup of milk or an equivalent source of calcium like cheese or yogurt to stay healthy
