Yeah but I want to know if it has been proven to do that scientifically or something.

Well, I've been drinking coffee as long as I can remember and it was my breakfast in grade school and my mother smoked 2 packs of camels a day while pregnant with me and I did OK.

Should have been at least 6'6" though.

It's not the coffee that stunts your growth, it's the caffeine...

Nicotine too...

I plan to punish my kids by giving them milk when they're good and coffee when they're bad. It's up to them how tall they grow up to be.




By the way, I'm just kidding.;)

I'm just about caffeine/soda free since March ..maybe one coke per week. Before that like two sodas per day, they say the average teenager drinks around 3-4 per day. Now all I drink is bottled water, apple juice, orange juice, and milk. I feel much more healthy. Once I laid off the junk food too and felt GREAT but that got boring fast.

I've been drinking coffee since I got my first restaurant job at 14 years old, and I'm 6'5" tall. Of course, maybe I was supposed to be 7'?
