Growing up, I was always told that drinking coffee would stunt my growth. Plus, ick! Coffee wasn't tasty enough for me to beg my mom to drink it. My, how things change. These days, I am a bit of a coffee fiend. I drink a cup a day and I love it -- the taste, the warmth, everything. But I'm an adult now so it's ok.
But there's a growing trend out there -- teens drinking coffee. It's not so much that they're doing shots of espresso, they're into those sugary drinks from Starbucks. You know, the frapuccinos, the blended cremes. I can't really blame them. Those drinks are tasty, though I stay away because they're so bad for you.
What do you think of coffee and teens -- is it safe? Will these sugary, caffeine-and-fat-laden drinks contribute to weight problems? Is it really just a myth that coffee will stunt your growth?
