Question: True or false? coffee stunts growth?

(Posted by: Kayla on 2010-07-28 05:17:11)

I'm 4'10 and I'm 14 almost 15. My mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'9. I have coffee almost everyday but only one cup. PLEASE TELL ME! I'm the shortest one in the grade! I'm probably the shortest person in the grade below me too!

Think its a bit of an old wives tale but it has other negative effects as your drinking it from such a young age. Try an experiment, stop drinkin it for a while and see what happens.

There's a possibility that you just inherited your mom's height that's why your small. Drinking coffee doesn't stunt growth but rather keep you awake.

That's an old wive's tale and it's false. Coffee does not stunt your growth. Remember that you are still growing, but your mom is shorter too and height is hereditary.
