Does caffeine...?

Question

does caffeine make u shorter? is it really true?

Answer 1

I don't know, but I doubt it.  The only place where caffeine has been proven bad for you is expectant mothers.  It increases the risk of miscarriages.  For everyone else, I think it's ok in moderation.  One coffee or a couple of cokes per day is fine.

Answer 2

....I hope not...

Answer 3

The Penn State Young Women’s Health Study found no connection between caffeine intake and height or bone strength (Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Oct. 1998).

No, coffee doesn't stunt your growth. But coffee does contain caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system. For most people, a cup or two of coffee a day doesn't do any harm. But if you're drinking more — especially if you are getting caffeine from other sources, like soda — you may want to cut back. That's because high doses of caffeine can cause anxiety and dizziness, and may interfere with normal sleep.
