I started thinking, why is it that people always downplay or minimize how much of a fsctor nutrition has on our height? Is a defense mechanism by short men since they dont want to admit if they ate better or exercised more in their childhood they could have grown more?


Here's a quote from a short man named iwannabetaller talking about height.

"Environment is not the key to becoming tall. Environment affects on average about 20% of your final height in developed countries"

Is he not aware that 20% of height is a huge substantial number for example 20% increase of height on a 5'7 man makes him over 6 foot
