Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

Absolutely not!!! I am the only one of eight siblings who drank coffee from age forteen (when I was the skinniest and shortest in the whole neighbourhood) and now I am the tallest and healthiest of my seven brothers and sisters. Take that into consideration . By the way I am 6'3"".

Answer 4

That's what they say, I am already short so I don't care.

Answer 5

I don't believe so. All the men in my family have been drinking large amounts of coffee all of their lives and we are all over 6 feet tall. But then again maybe we could be even taller if we didn't drink coffee...but somehow I still doubt theres any scientific evidence that it does indeed stunt growth.

Answer 6

No I've been drinking coffee since I was 5 and I am 5'6".
