Jfl i knew you would have articles from some news website. These news websites are not evidence, they are not worth anything. You have to read the actual studies and see the source data. The studies that these two articles provide do not say “coffee stunts growth DISPROVEN” they are about bone mineral density, and the ny times article doesnt even provide any studies or data, just some other ny times articles as the source, which is worthless. And the one study on bone mineral density in the healthline article only had 77 young white women. Not a bad study, but that is a small sample size and specific demographic. The other study they link even says that data on caffeine effect in children and adolescents is inconclusive.Does Coffee Stunt Your Growth? (for Teens) - Nemours KidsHealth

No, Coffee Doesn’t Stunt Kids’ Growth
Contrary to popular opinion, coffee won’t stunt kids’ growth. But there are other reasons kids should steer clear of caffeine.www.nytimes.com
If you read the studies, you will find that caffeine has at most an extremely small impact on development. What I am saying is not that you will go from 6 feet potential to 5’7 if you drink a bunch of caffeine. But in the studies that examine this, they find people that regularly consume caffeine as kids and teenagers are usually shorter and smaller by a very small but measurable amount, not necessarily just because of caffeine’s direct effects on the bones and other organs but with the effect on sleep, appetite, and cardiovascular health, it can, but not always 100% of time, stunt or mess with growth and development to a very small degree
