Hi,
I am doing my science fair project on caffeine's affect on planaria, and i was wondering if you guys could tell me if caffeine actually stunts human growth also. my mom has always told me that i shouldn't drink coffee if i wanted to get any taller (i'm a mere 5'2") but i never listened to her.
thanks, liz.

Its almsot a year later but still...

Caffeine (mainly used for coffee) has no evidence of stunting growth. There are many people who are tall and drink it. It seems to have good side effects as long as you dont drink too much (1-2 cups a day is good), it can improve your alertness and attitude. It can reduce the risks to a few serious diseases however, if you drink too much (like 5-Cool then it can cause depression, insomia and other disorders.

Hope it helped even though your post is a year old Embarassed
