Being Dutch, I live in the land of giants. On average, Dutch women stand almost 1.71 metres (5.6 feet) tall, and its men 1.84 metres (6 feet). But how the Dutch became the world's tallest people has been somewhat of a mystery.
After all, two centuries ago they were renowned for being among the shortest. What happened since then? A popular explanation is nutrition - a calorie-stuffed diet rich in meat and dairy products. But that can't be the whole story, experts say.
