... carbs don't stunt your growth?

To answer your question, spaghetti and pasta is chock full of carbs. But I highly doubt this would make you stop growing.

 

[Rhymes]

Ok, so I'm pretty tall but I don't want to be, so I thought that trying to stunt my growth would be a good idea. This website said that eating lots of carbs stunts your growth, and since bread has lots of carbs I'm going to eat a ton of bread from now on. What other food is chock-full of carbs?

Actually eating tons of carb will make you pretty fat which will make you LOOK smaller.

But who am I to judge:

Potatoes, pasta, anything made from cereals, sugar, fruit juice.

Why do leaves take forever to change color, and then overnight they all end up on the ground?

Leaves change color when Tom Petty walks by them, then they blush intensly and eventually die of overeaction.

Carbs = carbohydrates, rights? That's what all the wedsites said. Besides, it was either carbs or smoking, and even though smoking cigerettes makes you cool I can't stand the taste anymore. :S

Thanks for the reply.

Too Much Carbohydrate

Carbohydrate is important nutrient because it will give us lot of energy but eating too much carbohydrate has stunting effect also because it can raise the insulin levels in the body preventing the body from effectively using the human growth hormones. Asian countries used to eat more carbohydrate in their diet such as rice and corn. This is why Asian countries have such a short average height compare to other countries such as United States. Don't eat too much carbohydrate instead eat more protein foods if you want to grow taller.

You know right there that this thing isn't serious. USA = Carbs kings.

I'm 5"10. I would like to stop growing right now, but noooooo I'm going to be 6"00 tall. Dammit.

What the hell's wrong with being tall? Tall people tend to get paid more and are more attractive. I'm 6 ft 3 inches and still growing, by the way.

Why is it necessary for some people, with beer in hand, to create a mosh pit in front of a Heavy Metal band. A waste of beer if you ask me.

Tall people get paid more? That makes no sense. Anyways, it's better to be average than short/tall. I wanna bea little bit shorter than average just cause I wanna be. Not that it's going to happen.

Tall people, on average, get paid more.

Yes. They are far more useful for reaching for items on high shelves.

 

[Cull]

I'm 5'2.

 

[really]

But why? Are tall people somehow superior or something?

It's something to do with standing out in a crowd and vaguely intimidating people.
Tallness is also associated with leadership roles.

Girls find tall men more attractive

 

[W|M]

Being tall makes you earn more money. Like being male. Society's like that.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I'm 5'2 but some people think I'm 5'6. Why would that be?

 

[Huayna Capac357]
