Can Coffee Stunt Your Growth?

No, there is no scientific evidence that coffee stunts physical growth or bone development. This common myth likely originated from historical studies mislinking caffeine to osteoporosis. While excess caffeine can slightly lower calcium absorption, Singapore HealthHub notes that a balanced diet rich in calcium easily counteracts this effect. However, children and teenagers should limit caffeine intake to avoid sleep disruption and restlessness. Source: HealthHub Singapore
