Does tea/coffee stunt your growth?

Question

I have been drining a lot of coffee recently, (1/2 cups at night) will this do it?

How does it stunt your growth?

If it does, how much do you have to drink for it to stunt your growth?

Do you love staying up late at night drinking coffee?

What is espresso because I don't think I've had it, if you have a full cup can it make you TOTALLY hyper!? Since people usually say that they have a double espresso?

What if you drink about 5 - 10 cups of coffee?

Answer 1

The only way it will stunt your growth is by keeping you awake and not letting you sleep and you do most of your growing at night! Tea does stain your teeth tho!

Answer 2

OK  Coffee stunts your intelligence you only have to see what the popularity of the stuff has done to our government and  educational system never mind the poor Yanks  some of whom gave up trying years ago.

Answer 3

Answer 4

yeah ... thats what I hear

Answer 5

No. I have been drinking tea and coffee since i was 3 years old and i managed to reach an impressive height of 4 feet 3 inches. Cant bloody sleep though.

Answer 6

caffeine in coffee does not directly stunt your growth, but lack of sleep that may result from that, will.

You have to understand that caffeine  in coffee and tea is released differently. Coffee gives you spike in energy, tea tones you up and slowly releases energy throughout the day.

Answer 7

The only way that coffee can stunt your growth is if you drink 2 gallons of it in 5 minutes and it kills you. Nothing can stunt your growth more than being dead.

I don't care how many questions you ask either. It won't change the fact that coffee does NOT stunt your growth.
