Does milk actually make you grow taller?

Not for me and I drank loads of the stuff when I was a kid, so much so that my mother used to call me a poddy calf. I’m only five foot. Height is mainly genetic.

Yes I drank one cup, and became tall enough to destroy all buildings and mankind. Do NOT drink milk under any circumstances. It's too dangerous.

Jk, umm yeah any good nutrition I guess will help you grow and stuff, but like. I doubt milk makes you grow super dramatically. I've drank my fair share of milk growing up and I'm still a 5'1" dwarf.

probably gives you like 5cm more than what you would get without it or something maybe lol

Quote from Yunathehomegirl

I heard many times that milk promotes strong bones and is a vital source of calcium. However, does it actually increase your height? Or is it just a myth?

if you don't have the calcium to grow the bones, no matter how tall your genes code for, it won't grow past your body's resource limit.

aka if you give your body as much calcium it would ever need, it will reach its full potential.

Completely false

I'm still short

If that would be it, than I was not so short

i believe there is some evidence that drinking milk in your growing years only (so only as a child) can make u end up taller

Nah it’s a myth and I’m lactose and 5’3 lol so going to elementary school back in the day was hard. Teachers would ram that shit in your head and give it to you for lunch.

What they didn’t tell you is if you remove dairy or even cows milk from your diet your skin will be much better.

I heard it's bc of the hormones or smth? I'm not really sure lmao

I don't think it is true. Height has more to do with genetics. But I do believe it strengthen bones.

not really

I drink warm milk all the time because it makes me tired and guess what, my 154 cm self hasn't grown in years

Ion drink cow milk

N im still tall

So ig nah

It just helps, not make you immediately taller, and not a myth either

Scientists says genetic and nutritions during childhood play a great role on your height. But as per my observation of my surrounding, it doesn't apply to all people

No, never worked for me and I drank at least 10k liters of milk in my life in literally every possible form. Bones are probably more solid though. Sports are highly underrated, especially sports that use your lenght like swimming and basketball.

Lies, lies, lies.

I am 145 cm at 13 lol.

Quote from alexS

No clue, but I had a ton of milk growing up.

And now I'm 1.90(6.23)

how tall are your parents?

Biggest lies ever.

Genetics are the ones who rule the game.

It will help you reach your potential because it’s nutrient rich and that’s required for growth.

You’re not gonna grow taller than what you are genetically predisposed to be.

No but eating healthy food actually makes ppl grown

Help you reach your potential height. But you can use other foods to achieve that

According to Bambam, yes.

He credits his growth spurt with Nayeon making him drink milk everyday.

It helps like any other food. Just have access to good nutrition and hope you got good roll on your genetics.

That's TALL

I also have a tall friend but I don't think she's THAT tall

But it mainly has to do with genetics. I'm like in between my mom and dad's height. I'm slightly taller than my mom and slightly shorter than my dad.

didn't work for me

Broiler chickens stuffed with growth hormones are a better option.

Seriously speaking, it may be partially true. I've always hated milk. My brother is 1.92 m and I'm 1.67 (girl) which is not above average in my country. Maybe I could be taller, but I'm fine with my height.

my dad is a midget, my mom is a little shorter than him. my friend's mom is like 6'1 her grandmother is like 6'4 and her dad is ,6'0 i think she's just lucky to be in a tall family
