Does eating broccoli make you grow taller?

Growth chart: Look up a normal growth height chart for your age and if you are concerned, discuss with your doctor. You still can grow taller at your age. http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41l021.pdf.

Not particularly: At a listed age of 20 there is no diet, exercise, stretches, med, etc. that is going to make you taller. You grow until your growth centers close, which is usually 16-18 in males. Broccoli is a nutritious food, but has no specific benefit when it comes to gaining height.
