Hi, im a 17 year old male, and i box at an amateur level. i was considering taking whey protein to help with muscle growth. does whey cause stunted growth (as in height) or is this just false information??? thanks.

Opposite!: Protein is a vital nutrient for growth along with complex carbs and healthy fats. Whey protein is a by product of cheese making. Unless you are allergic to whey and having frequent allergic inflammation as a response, research indicates that high-protein diets may have a positive impact on children's height. This nutrient increases growth hormone levels, helping children grow taller/stay leaner.
