does drinking a lot of milk make you grow taller?

does drinking a lot of milk make you grow taller or does it only make your bones stronger regardless of size?

thanks

in theory if you are still in developemental stages protein calories carbs and fat at a right amount with exercise will help you grow and stregnthen

 

[iskim86]

really.............

so if an 18 year old drank an aquarium-full of milk each day, would it make him grow taller?

EDIT:

is this proven?

No, you'll just get ridicuously fat and develop some pretty bad gastrointestinal problems.

 

[effee]

I think you're still growing at 18 and you'll stop at 21.

Getting 1000 mg of calcium a day is good, but getting more than that makes no difference.

Women reach thier full height at 18, men at 21. The old age for bones is ~25-30 years old; this is defined as when there is more bone destruction than formation.

Don't forget the overdose of bovine growth hormones which will turn you into a cow.

[iskim86]

Haha, my mom was the opposite; I had to drink milk with lunch EVERY day. Usually 1%.

If it does, it is because of the hormones in it.

Thought BHG is more of a female hormone.

I buy organic milk so it does not have any of that crap in it.

And I really doubt that milk will make you taller. For the amount I drank, I should be taller than other people in my family.

 

[markgm]

I drank milk like it was water as a kid, I'm 6'5". Whole until around 2, then 2%, then 1% and for the last 16 years or so, skim. (Although back in the day skim wasn't fat free like it is now.)

 

[MrBlahh]

Well I drank a ton of milk when I was younger and Im only about 5'9"

Calcium OJ has a good serving. But really you should just take some calcium supplements. That's what I do since milk upsets my stomach.

 

[KoolDrew]

I drink a ton of milk and I am 6'2" and 235 pounds. I am also 16 years old.

 

[vital]

I'm only 5'6"... does that mean if i did drink a lot of milk when I was younger i'd probably be taller today or does my gene determine my height?
man if i knew drinking milk would get me taller or if my cap in heigh twas 5'6", I'd drink milk every damn day.
