Coffee/does coffee stunt your growth

Question
hi,

i've heard that coffee stunts your growth is that true or just a myth?

Answer
This definitely seems to be a myth resulting from suppositions not based on any credible scientific studies. The Framingham study, a thirty year study of a group consuming coffee, came up with no such finding.

I hope this helps.
