A member asked:

I'm 16 and i drink 1 to 2 cups of coffee a day, is it true that this can affect my growth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

COFFEE 2CUPS/ DAY: It will make you nervous if you are vulnerable! with palpitations , insomnia but I do not think it will affect your growth. Unless of course you are not eating good or lacking sleep due to stimulant effect of coffee.
