Does coffee really stunt growth?

• Answer #1

  Dear brokenxxx, The reason for this wife tale stems from the fact that coffee can deplete the body of calcium. Calcium plays a major part in bone growth and children or teens who drink coffee are depleting their bodies so adults say it stunts growth. In a round about way you can say it's kind of true...calcium is needed to make bones grow so less calcuim the slower the growth. Sue...good luck
