Diet and height?

I'm sure this topic has been brought up a lot...

How important is a good diet for growth? I have read that mostly  genetics determine your height and diet plays a small role.

I grew up in a western nation but had a bad diet as a youth.
 I did not like milk but drank it until the age of 13 in school. I did eat cereal with milk but I never chugged it like some children do you .

Here in America, we use to have  TV commercials telling children to drink milk to grow taller. I always wonder if I had just chugged milk like other boys, would I have been taller? I'm about 5'9 but the men in my family are taller, most over 6ft.

Don't obsess about unchangeable past mistakes that may or may not have even affected anything now.  It wastes your time, energy, and makes you feel bad about yourself, thus making your future worse.  Do something productive and beneficial with your time in the present.

I agree upon what MOD said. It's of no use to regret your commits done in the past.
But if you can transform it into a part of the knowledges of helping your children grow taller, it can make sense then.

No.
Pretty sure theyve gathered lots of data from identical twins and as long as one didnt have a medical problem or grew up in somewhere like North Korea in extreme poverty the difference is like half an inch.

Good to know. One thing to not lament over I suppose.
