No good answer: Recent studies show that the taller you are, the greater the risk of cancer. Growth hormone is a known cancer causing agent above certain levels.

Desire to be taller : Many americans in particular desire to be thinner and taller, either for health or for cosmetic reasons. They are looking for a quick fix to obtain these goals. Any medicine, diet or supplement that claim to give you a quick and safe path to being thin or taller is likely a hoax.
