   Dairy milk will help to ensure that you grow taller NORMALLY but NOT faster than normal.

   A deficiency of protein, calcium or zinc could STUNT your growth and soy milk can deplete your zinc intake by as much as 50% as it contains a lot of phytic acid and phytates that hinder the absorption of zinc. If you want to consume soy milk you must take a zinc supplement with it.

   Some kids in Asia who thrived on soy products have grown into short adults.

   You can not grow any faster than NORMAL, no matter what you do or eat.

   You’ve probable never herd this before but the only people who tell you that milk is good for you are the business owners because they make more money.

   It doesn’t help you grow taller. It just allows your body to reach its maximum height possible. If you have a shortage of calcium and vitamin D, you won’t grow as tall. As long as you have enough, you’re fine. The same goes with carrots and eyesight. You need vitamin A to see, but eating a bunch of carrots won’t make you have super vision.

   Hi my name is James.
   I am 17 and was wondering if I can grow any taller.
   I have passed puberty but want to know if I can grow any taller at the age of 17.
   I do all kinds of strethes and drink milk everyday, is it likely I can grow taller? And what age do you stop growing?
