Here’s what kidshealth.org have to say about Does coffee stunt your growth?
No, coffee doesn’t stunt your growth. But coffee does contain caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system. For most people, a cup or two of coffee a day doesn’t do any harm. But if you’re drinking more — especially if you are getting caffeine from other sources, like soda — you may want to cut back. That’s because high doses of caffeine can cause anxiety and dizziness, and may interfere with normal sleep.

If you decide to cut back or stop drinking coffee, do so gradually. Stopping suddenly can cause unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, irritability, and fatigue.

It’s best to ask your doctor if you should stop or cut back on drinking coffee. Caffeine can cause problems for people who have heart problems or are taking certain medications. It may also trigger migraine headaches


From Yahoo health :
Research suggests that coffee consumption has no effect on height. This Myth was started decades ago when it was thought that caffeine in coffee may be a risk for osteoporosis, and subsequently lead to reduced bone mass. However, much of the previous research that linked caffeine beverages and osteoporosis were made in populations that also had low calcium intakes. These people were most likely replacing calcium-rich milk with coffee or caffeine sodas. *Low calicum intakes are clearly linked to reduced bone health.

More recent studies suggest that even if caffeine does slightly offset calcium absorption, the effect is very small…. and it’s easily offset by adding a couple of tablespoons of milk into your coffee. Of course, for optimal bone health you’ll also need an appropriate daily dose of calcium throughout the day from low-fat dairy, fortified foods, certain greens and/or supplements.

So coffee won’t stunt your kid’s growth, should you still limit their consumption? Yes, because there are other potential adverse side effects including stomach discomfort, nervousness, shakiness, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, and irritability. In my opinion, it’s NOT a good idea to let you child drink caffeinated coffee

So guys, after reading this two answers, would you still think and wondering Does coffee stunt your growth?I bet your question answered well.A lot of health myths out there still need to be told and explains, this is just one of those many myths.
