your best options -
step 1 - is obviously explaining the real dangers and trying to talk him out of it. the height stunting factor for a young man often gets their attention.
step 2 - if the guy really is going to juice, no matter what you tell him, then you should try to guide him onto a path that is least likely to bring harm.
var won't stunt growth, has very low side effects....and it's so expensive, it will seriously discourage him from other juice. too broke to buy the dangerous stuff isn't that bad a solution.
lying to peoplle didn't stop us, and it probably won't stop him...and you'll lose your credibility.
