I heard a rumor that coffee makes you shrink or stop growing is this true? give !


Question: Complete myth, you can drink all the coffee you want, it will not alter your DNA....which determines how tall you will become. And I don't believe it is possible to shrink in height.....some people claim you lose a few inches when your very old...im talking 70-90 years old. I think that myth has also been put to rest.

herd it too yo

It doesn't stop you from growing, If it did I would only be 2 foot tall.

Sounds like rubbish. First of all, I've never heard of it. Secondly, even though I'm far from tall, I'm not really short either and I've been drinking coffee since I was about 4.

I drink loads of espresso because it tastes nice... I'm not too bothered about health, but it apparently reduces your risk of Parkinson's, type 2 diabetes, is a natural anti-depressant, and probably other stuff. It's also a myth that it elevates your blood pressure. See source below.

Of course the caffeine messes with your sleep, but that's part of the fun.
