It may be an old wives tail.. and usually, there's always some truth to what they said years past.. Take mom's advice, you have nothing to lose
someone told me to eat an apple in the morning, as one apple will help me wake, as much if not more, than a cup of coffee..
Also.. eat 3 times a day, plus 2 snacks:
breakfast - lunch - snack - dinner - late snack

That is not true. I am 6 ft 1 inch and drank coffee from the age of 10.

No. It won't make you stop growing. However, I think there is some evidence that smoking will indeed stunt your growth. I love coffee. If that's the worst drug you do, then your mom should be happy.

I don't know about stunting growth, but there is some research out there that shows caffine can affect calcium absorption, which could cause some issues. However, based on the article below if you are obtaining sufficient calcium from your diet you should be okay.

definately, caffeine stunts growth by displacing the need to grow stronger by substituting artificial endurance
