Nope. But eating right will allow you to reach your maximum potential. There are things that will STUNT your growth, but not the opposite. I guess HGH & IGF-1, but no one is going to give you that.

Caffeine is a diuretic and causes calcium to be leached out of bones and excreted. However, the reviews of the medical literature I've seen indicate that the effect is slight and can be readily compensated for with diet. Because caffeine has been implicated as a contributor to osteoporosis in the elderly and other vulnerable populations, though, plenty of folks are worried that the substitution of caffeinated soft drinks for milk during childhood (when the need for calcium is great) might lead to developmental problems.
Smoking is harmful as well.

Just to elaborate on the correct diet: Correct protein consumption, as well as caloric intake, will allow your body to grow to it's fullest.

well, eating the right things helps, like good food, vegetables and salad and stuff. basicly getting all th right vitamins and minerals and stuff. milk can help, but wont make much of a difference. also try hanging from a pole for 10 minutes everyday. it decompresses the spine and helps to stretch it and can make u a few inches taller over time
