Question

Will toddlers grow taller if they drink more milk?

Answer 1

yes toddlers will grow taller if they drink milk.
Milk and dairy products play an important role in explaining historical trends or regional differences in human height during the 19th and 20th centuries [13]. A recent extensive ecological study analyzed the main correlates of male height in 105 countries in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and Oceania [14]. Data on male height were compared with the average consumption of protein from 28 different sources and with 7 socioeconomic indicators. The most significant nutritional correlates of stature were intake of milk proteins (r = 0.79; p < 0.001), followed by total protein (r = 0.74; p < 0.001), and animal protein (r = 0.73; p < 0.001); while the most negative nutritional correlate in the total sample was rice protein (r = –0.74; p < 0.001). The highest correlation with height (r = 0.85; p < 0.001) was achieved for the combination of proteins from milk products, eggs, pork and beef meat, and potatoes. The authors identified 3 primary types of diets based on the major source of protein. The first, a rice protein-based diet, characterized by a very low protein and energy consumption, is typical of tropical Asia, and is associated with a very short stature (162–168 cm). The second, a wheat-based diet with a high plant-protein content, characterized by a relatively high total protein and energy consumption (comparable with that of European countries), is typical of the Muslim countries of North Africa and the Near East, and is associated with a relatively short stature (average male height <174 cm). The third, an animal protein-based diet consisting mostly of milk proteins, is typical of Northern and Central Europe, and is associated with the tallest mean stature in the world (>180 cm). Most importantly, these data showed a difference of some 10 cm (174 vs. 184) between nations relying on plant versus animal proteins, despite a comparable consumption of total protein and energy. This indicates that plant-based diets do not provide the optimal stimuli for physical growth.Drinking milk helps in that it contains a ton of nutrients, sugars, proteins, and fats that are needed for growing people to reach their full potential. Your height is determined mostly by genetics (between 60-85%), the rest is pretty much determined by nutrition. Nutrition won't make you grow taller than you would be normally, malnutrition, on the other hand can prevent you from reaching those heights.

You don't have to drink milk to attain your full stature, it's just one way to get those nutrients that you need. Milk does contain a lot of calcium, but that's only because cows eat leafy greens. You can get the same dose of calcium, if not more, from eating plants.

There is zero evidence that any bovine growth hormone transferred from milk has any affect on a person's height or muscle growth.
