everyone in my family has this thing where they grow "out, then up". well I like to drink one soda per day, but I was wondering if that could stunt my growth in any way so that I can't grow taller. I have size 9 feet so I know I'm supposed to be tall for a girl! and I'm just asking about the caffeine, I'm normal on BMI and blood pressure so don't go off and tell me sodas or going to make me fatter [: lol thank you

Can caffeine stunt your growth? And if so, how much?
Verified answer
Caffeine inhibits your body's ability to absorb calcium, and, as we all know, calcium is what builds bones! I wouldn't worry about the ammount of caffeine in just one soda or one cup of coffee, but over more than that I would be concerned. Caffeine can be bad for you in other ways as well. :)
