  6. LOL I USED TO DRINK COFEE ALL THE TIME WITH MY GRANDMA WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND I ONLY GREW TO BE 5'2 LOL...BUT IT COULD JUST BE A COINCIDENCE LOL

  7. gee, my dd has been drinking coffee since she was 9 months old or so -- and I drank it while pregnant and breast feeding her.... she's 5'10" tall -- I don't think it stunted her growth!!!  

    (she drinks it everyday - she's 16)

  8. No, there is no evidence at all that caffeine stunts growth. I have never heard that. In moderation, it's been proven that it is good for you.

  9. RUMOR!!!!

    Falso!

  10. No.It depends on the genes being passed down by your parents when you're still in your mother's womb.

  11. bullshattt

  12. No, that's an old wives tale invented so kids don't drink coffee and then get really hyper.

  13. its not the caffeine in coffee that stunts your growth. i dont know what is. you can drink decaf like i do every Sunday and still have growth stunt.im 12 and kids younger than me that are regular sized kids for their age are taller than me.im not sure if drinking coffee every few weeks is enough to stunt your growth but it depends on how long youve been drinking it.my mom only lets me drink decaf and my dad does not drink it so when my church serves coffee in the morning i get decaf. thats why i only drink coffee on Sundays.

    i really hope i helped.good luck with your coffee and with your growth.lol!!!:)

    ps....i think even just drinking it every few months could stunt your growth just a little!!!!!!!!

  14. nope

    it'll stunt your growth a little bit if you drink like 3 full cups a day

  15. Absolutely the contrary is true. A small dose of caffeine has been scientifically proven to boost the human pituitary gland to produce natural growth hormone and thus creating more IGF-1 which will cause growth not hinder growth. Just lay off of the sugar. Now I get this information from my Doctor who specializes in Hormone Replacement Therapy so I didn't make this one up.

  16. No! Good for your heart and focus(mind)  Only 2 cups are best!

  17. Depends, are youh short?

  18. NO WAY!

  19. It will if you drink coffee everyday during puberty.  Every few weeks is not enough to stunt your growth.
