Not true.
Height is not impacted my caffeine intake. Caffeine does not have any medical benefits, so certainly limiting caffeine for children is prudent. Caffeine is a drug, just like alcohol, and affects children differently than adults since they don’t process medications as adults do.
Coffee or energy drinks are discouraged. These frequently contain caffeine AND large amounts of fat and calories. This can also lead to weight gain and cavities.
