Can excess carbs stunt height growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not pe se. Lack of sufficient protein may affect height. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ Wish you good health!
