This is an article that actually references research. According to this, and the other sites I checked, there is more evidence that coffee helps your memory as opposed to hurting it.
Also, caffeine is what they say stunts your growth, not coffee. If this is true, then soda would also stunt one's growth.
If you want answers to medical questions, I recommend asking a doctor. Also, try looking into science based answers. I hope this helped. :) [ toribug's advice column | Ask toribug A Question ]

Just jesting. ;)
I have been drinking coffee regularly since I was in junior high, and my memory is just fine. And we are talking, what? 15 years or so?
Stunting growth I believe is myth. I was 5'2" when I was a freshman, and walked out of school at 5'7". So if it stunted growth, would I be as tall as the average male?
And like I said, I was a coffee drinker before my freshman year, and I have always drank lots of coffee in a day.

redhead6154 answered Thursday July 12 2007, 12:19 pm: i've never heard of that so probably not. the only thing i've heard is that is can stunt your growth which could maybe be linked to what you heard about memory span. but i'm not sure. caffiene can do all sorts of things to you.
