I can assure you there are plenty of people growing well beyond their first 2 decades.

And one way that happens is covered in the article: through cancer. The other is obesity. Both make the article's point.

As far as I know we don't grow any new fat cells, it's just that the ones we do have get larger.

There is a maximum size after which individual cells will split. It becomes harder to regain your old shape because when you lose weight the existing cells shrink but never shed, so you can end up with new cells you can’t get rid of.

Do the skin cells to contain the fat also only get larger? And what about the beer drinking muscle ?
