1) You admit right off that there are no studies.
2) You still assert that your claims are "well known" and "becoming clear" despite the lack of studies.
3) This is one of the biggest loads of bovine excrement I've ever had the privilege to read on these forums.17 -

What is your source that claims insulin inhibits growth hormone?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to help regulate blood sugar. It is necessary for proper body function. Obviously it does not inhibit growth to have insulin present in your body or none of us would grow.

Human growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. Growth hormone deficiency "results primarily from damage to the hypothalamus or to the pituitary gland during fetal development (congenital GH deficiency) or following birth (acquired GH deficiency). GH deficiency may also be caused by mutations in genes that regulate its synthesis and secretion" from https://www.britannica.com/science/growth-hormone

I don't know what my genetic potential is, but I highly doubt that candy stunted my growth. I was a very active and thin child. I don't think that you will find much support for your theories that we are meant to consume OMAD, or that sugar in childhood reduces growth. Perhaps the lack of studies is because there is no support for these theories.
It's not a matter of comparing people.. it's a matter of would you have grown taller by an inch or two than your current height if you limited insulin during your early years.10 -

Insulin and growth hormone play antagonist roles against one another. When one is elevated, the other will be low, period.
You have to read some more studies on the subject.8 -
you obviously don't understand the rules of a forum (weather stated or implied) - if you come and post crackpot ideas, then it is *YOUR* responsibility to post research that supports your opinion and validates your theory8

Here's an example of before-and-after. A diabetic child before and after insulin.

Why? because he doesn't agree with your frankly ridiculous supposition....you can't prove it so your being called on it.

This article was meant as a food for thought, please don't get defensive.. if there was studies to prove it or not.. it was just to get some thought on the subject from each other.
I hope this exact idea will be adopted into a real study to see if insulin during early years can limit height full potential or not if done on twins maybe. xD9 -
a coworker of mine lost 70lbs in 2017 by eating 5-6 small meals a day. bottom line - calorie deficit! eat 1 meal, eat 3, eat 6. if you take in less calories than your body uses, you will lose.2

Sorry... what article? All I see is a hypothesis with no proofs brought forward to back it up.5
