Answer 1

First, people don't shrink.
I'm 5'8 and I've been drinking coffee everyday since I was 12 and I'm 20 now. The only downfall about it is I have to get my teeth whitened every 6 months because it stains.

Answer 2

You don't stunt your growth by drinking coffee but you will eventually lose 1/2 to 1 inch of your final height by the time you are 70, if you live that long. this is due to the nature of gravity. you can slow the process though by regular exercise, yoga and standing on your head.

Answer 3

no, lack of nutrition stunts growth, mainy, calcuim, vitamin D, A, C etc....

if i was you tell your parents to get educated in nutrition, you do the same

fruits,veggies, whole grains, lean meats, lquid fats (olive oil) nuts/seeds, and non fat dairy. reverse omosis or disstilled water, and supplements like a multivitamin pill, your body will consume alot of nutritents cause your metabulism is so high when you are growing

educate yourself and your parents too and friends

Answer 4
