No. Adults or teenagers with anorexia don't shrink, it's just a saying that people make up. Once you grow you grow.

I have believed that coffee would make you shrink in height but it isn't scientifically proved that this does. Sorry but i don't think any foods can make you shrink in height although I wish there was. =P
osteoporosis causes people to look as if they are shrinking
Mountains can both grow and shrink over long periods of time due to tectonic forces such as plate movement and erosion. The process of mountain growth usually occurs over millions of years when tectonic plates push against each other, forcing the Earth's surface to rise. On the other hand, mountains can shrink through erosion caused by weathering and other natural processes that wear down their surfaces.
Mountains may appear to shrink over time due to erosion caused by natural processes such as weathering, glaciation, and tectonic activity. These processes break down and wear away the rock material that make up the mountains, gradually reducing their height and size. Additionally, tectonic forces can uplift and erode mountains at different rates, leading to changes in their overall shape and size over long periods of time.
the light that gets into it
No. You just won't grow as fast
Products come in shrink-wrap packaging.I had to shrink my jeans. Many older adults shrink by one to three inches as they lose height.
