How long do you have to drink coffee to stop growing?

No, but coffee makes you stay longer in the day, when your sleep time doesn't in the growth hormone time (9pm-1am) then you will grow more slower

Coffee stunting growth is an old wives tale! I even asked NPR's favorite family doc, Zorba Paster if my two year old daughter would be harmed by the coffee she loves. (She started getting into and eating grounds when she was one.) He said it was fine and that I could give her a demmitasse to have a bonding time when we were at the coffee shop together.

Coffee, in moderation, neither stops nor stunts growth. If you were to drink so much coffee that you repeatedly filled up on it and failed to consume nutritious food, well then, you might just stunt your growth if you were not already fully grown. Okay so all morning Iv'e looked up this answer from many, many different places: from Doctors to MAD coffee drinkers to even coffee shop owners. I've concluded that Coffee will not stunt your growth and, yes, its a thing parents say to kids so they won't drink coffee. As said by a Doctor Who studies coffee, coffee will not stunt growth and it is good for kids who drink coffee and a sufficient amount of milk; it helps them focus in class, as well as many other things, but does not stunt growth. So grab a mug of coffee, call your mom and dad, and rub it in their faces that coffee does not stunt growth. But before I conclude this message, also keep in mind that caffeine has also a drug like effect and a person can become addicted and if a person who is addicted stops drinking there will be side effects. So there you have it, but please, don't tell your kids that coffee stunts growth because it doesn't. If you want to be honest to your kids tell them(this is true) that coffee, if drank in large quantities such as 15 to 20 cups a day, will take away calcium from your bones.

Scientists and health officials say that while coffee does not stunt growth it may have other side effects such as headaches, irritability, and interfering with your sleep.

It is not recommended that coffee be given to children, as it takes much less caffeine to have these results than with an adult.

Coffee is a drug, meaning it is addictive and there will be withdrawal symptoms if you stop; as there are with any other drug.

But the fact that Coffee stunts growth is false.
