gh15 why are Steroids bad for you?

Health Hazards

The major side effects from abusing anabolic steroids can include liver tumors and cancer, jaundice (yellowish pigmentation of skin, tissues, and body fluids), fluid retention, high blood pressure, increases in LDL (bad cholesterol), and decreases in HDL (good cholesterol). Other side effects include kidney tumors, severe acne, and trembling. In addition, there are some gender-specific side effects:

    * For men - shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts, increased risk for prostate cancer.
    * For women - growth of facial hair, male-pattern baldness, changes in or cessation of the menstrual cycle, enlargement of the clitoris, deepened voice.
    * For adolescents - growth halted prematurely through premature skeletal maturation and accelerated puberty changes. This means that adolescents risk remaining short for the remainder of their lives if they take anabolic steroids before the typical adolescent growth spurt.

In addition, people who inject anabolic steroids run the added risk of contracting or transmitting HIV/AIDS or hepatitis, which causes serious damage to the liver.

Scientific research also shows that aggression and other psychiatric side effects may result from abuse of anabolic steroids. Many users report feeling good about themselves while on anabolic steroids, but researchers report that extreme mood swings also can occur, including manic-like symptoms leading to violence. Depression often is seen when the drugs are stopped and may contribute to dependence on anabolic steroids. Researchers report also that users may suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility.1

Research also indicates that some users might turn to other drugs to alleviate some of the negative effects of anabolic steroids. For example, a study of 227 men admitted in 1999 to a private treatment center for dependence on heroin or other opioids found that 9.3 percent had abused anabolic steroids before trying any other illicit drug. Of these 9.3 percent, 86 percent first used opioids to counteract insomnia and irritability resulting from the anabolic steroids.2

I think Stark makes these posts just to guage board members reactions as and size them up on their views on gear. His way of calling people out to choose sides.

How come i have none of those sides? Or will it happen in 40 years from now like they always say without any evidence to back it up?

As with everything it depends on the dose and the individual taking it.
You can't just say "Steroids are bad".
To know you have to try and see how your body reacts.
It's clear that when you push it there may be biological repercussions.

You need to stfu, and stop Melting down over this.

You're obsessing and spamming this board with this shit, enough already. Your girl got fucked by a big dude, get over it.

Maybe in Dublin, Ireland, where you live, it is expected to be handheld and being told what to do by Socialist instance.

Not here.

[Meltdown]

Steroids would be fine if your health is good it's the slin and other crap that will take it's toll.

i think he is not against roids...
i think he tries to find an identity...or better said..a gimmick

You've made me curious, I may try a cycle now just to see what all the hoopla is about.

[Alex23]

Same here. I'm now very curious and interested in it. I'm already a huge mofo, might as well go the extra mile.

I'd like to see if I could break the 300lb barrier on teh steroids.

[JohnnyVegas]

The problem with steroids is not being on them (in moderate dosages) it is coming off them that fucks up your system.

When you come off yoru entire system is shut dowm. And dont any of you dorks on the steroid board come on here and say that does not happen with PCT-bullshit-it happens no matter what you do.

Better to stay off as long as possible, years at a time, and then hit moderate dosages while dieting for a show, IMHO.

[Triple-H_2005]

i think baldess is entirely genetic

Agreed.  I'm clean, and I've been steadily thinning since I was a Senior in high school. 

[lovemonkey]

Agreed.  I'm clean, and I've been steadily thinning since I was a Senior in high school. 

Yes, people get bald.
Your clean and getting bald? Wow monster evidence for the thesis that steriods doesn't cause baldness. Your example has absolutely nothing to do with the question in hand.
You did not think this one through all the way, amirite?
