It can effectyour bone structure which will most likely stunt your growth. IF she is still young she should probably not drink coffee frequently. It also might give you heart diseases with all the cafeine if you drink more than tfive cups a day. It can increase your blood pressure trastically also. That can give you an irregular heart beat too. I use to be a docter and i had a patient who had a bladder problem and i asked her if she drank much coffee. She said yes, about 2 pots a day. I was SHOCKED!!! no wonder she had a bladder problem. I am surprised that she could still function properly.

It's actually a myth that it will stunt growth. But you probably should be concerned if she is drinking a lot of caffeinated coffee. There are lots of studies about the adverse effects of too much caffeine, the most serious of which can be an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. Maybe you could suggest that she have a couple of cups of regular and then switch to decaf for the rest of the day. Otherwise, coffee has been shown to contain antioxidants (which are good) and the coffee in itself is pretty good for you. It's the caffeine that's the problem.

No, coffee doesn't stun your growth. If your worried about the caffine in the coffee that could possibly stun your growth, it doesnt. Caffine is simply a mild temporary energy source, not permanent, and the reason I say it's a mild source is because it has no where the same temporary energy as, for example Gurana. For someone of 14 like me and you, I think one coffee a day would be fine, just not consistently every day over a month. Just defintaly stay away from guarna!! :P Hope this helps!

The Caffiene is bad for your bones. I don't know if it actually stunts your growth though.

it don't really stunt your growth, but the caffeine in the coffee is not really good for your health.

Nothing. It might keep her awake at night, if anything.

no, but it's probably not good for a youngster.
