✗ The myth everyone repeats
Drinking coffee or consuming caffeine prevents children from growing tall.
✓ What is actually true
Multiple studies have found no evidence that caffeine inhibits growth in children. Growth is determined by genetics, nutrition, sleep, and hormones, not caffeine consumption. While limiting caffeine in children is recommended for other health reasons (sleep disruption, anxiety), growth stunting is not supported by research.
