Does coffee affect your height?

I have heard that same thing since I was 10.  My grandmother told me and told me, if you drink coffee it will stunt your growth. I never drank it and grew to 5'7.  My sister, younger than me, drank it all the time and grew to 5'10".    It is an old wives' tale.  Your genetics determine your height, not coffee.

Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities? \n\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true, think again. \n\n\nCoffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better. \n\n\nReducing Disease Risk \n\n\nAfter analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders. \n\n\nThough the scientists give the customary "more research is needed" before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck's to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it's the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food -- especially in higher amounts. \n\n\nIn recent decades, some 19,000 studies have been done examining coffee's impact on health. And for the most part, their results are as pleasing as a gulp of freshly brewed Breakfast Blend for the 108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this traditionally morning -- and increasingly daylong -- ritual. In practical terms, regular coffee drinkers include the majority of U.S. adults and a growing number of children. \n\n\n"Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful," says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good." \n\n\nConsider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones. \n\n\nCoffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis. \n\n\nThere's also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities.

milk will make your bones stronger and sleep will keep you healthy which both can affect your height....genes play a great role in it also but listen to your mom she knows what shes talking about :)

Continued intake of caffeine can raise the blood pressure, but it's not really harmful unless you have high blood pressure.

I'm fairly sure it doesn't. Sorry height is usually about genetics, and its usually something you can't control. You could try some kind of growth hormones or just drinking milk to develop strong bones. But check with your doctor before trying any medication.

Though some coffee drinkers develop a tolerance for caffeine, those who don't may be sending up their blood pressure with each cup, new research suggests.\n\nIn a study of regular caffeine consumers, researchers found that many persistently showed small blood pressure spikes shortly after a large dose of caffeine -- even when that dose came after several days of high caffeine intake.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/062305_caffeine_bp.shtml\n\nCoffee also has an incredible effect on stress.  Try kicking caffeine for a week, and you will see your blood pressure, adrenaline levels and overall stress drop, according to a study by Duke University Medical Center.\n\nThe new research found that the effects of caffeine stay in the body all day long, amplifying any feelings of stress. Moreover, the perception of stress increased for the 47 study participants after they took caffeine tablets. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/caffeine_affects_stress.shtml

yes it does. coffee has been scientifically proven to speed up the beating of the heart. the faster the heart beats, the more blood pumped through your lungs. blood carries oxygen, and oxygen helps asthma.

"There has been no conclusive study showing that coffee stunts your growth. However excessive coffee consumption can have a negative impact on your health."

Smoking, coffee, poor diet and lack of exercise are the big ones. Any of those can cancel growth spurts. Genetics isn't a big help, either.

It is bad for your nervous system. Anything to excess is bad.  Try half calf coffee and stevia as a natural sweetner.  Stevia does not raise your blood sugar.  Try a natural vitamin as well synthetic vitamins dont have all the nutritional layers.

Yes it does.  It is directly related to the caffeine content.  Try decaf and you should be fine.  Never drink coffee if you are taking sudafed.

You are more likely to get taller by eating more calcium, since your height is dependent upon how large your bones are, and protein is more about muscles.  \n\nHonestly, though, I don't think there is anything that will help you get taller in a month.  Your genes and the amount of calcium you have had to date in your life would play a big role in your overall height, but there is no way to naturally stimulate your growth like that.
