i think all compounds do not affect all people the same, despite what 'coventional wisdom' or research suggests.
i know that tren ace turns me into a porn star (ok, bigger porn star) and that NPP causes me to shed like crazy. conventional wisdom says neither should happen.
i think people should experiment with such compounds with out any preconcieved notions, pay attention to what is going on in their body, and create an expectation based on experience rather than supposition.
it's two different topics.
obviously everyone is different. that's not broscience, it's science actually. when doctor prescribes pills to your girls it's same as us with drugs. it's all trial and error because everyone is different.
you see, I know people who said it's impossible to get bloated face on 200mg/week of test. I do. They tell me I'm seeing things. Then my real life friends can notice the difference, not even bodybuilders - just average people. There's no fucking theory that says - oh, it's impossible, bla bla.
But then again, when you have some really simple claim like - does saw palmetto help with prostate growth then it's VERY simple to evaluate whether it's true or not. all it takes is gathering control groups, perform double blind study, 1st year of college math and voila.
