If steroids are so deadly...

[Tapeworm]

then shouldn't we be having tons of 50-60 year old bbers dropping dead about now?  I mean steroids came on the scene big in the 70s right?  Doesn't make sense, where are all the bodies? 

Where are the testicles?  Where is the seedy turkish guy asking if you want some meth to go with that 'pharma grade' test?  Where is the post cycle depression?  Where is the manzier?  Where is the hair club for men?  Where are the guys who don't have an endocrine system shot to shit?

Use if you want to use but assess the risks, knowingly accept them instead of pretending like steroid use is entirely consequence free, and take steps to use as safely as you can.

Name some over 50 bbers that where huge, and are live and never had an organ transplant or diabetes .

  Nonsense. I didn't ever claimed that using steroids will result in one requiring organ transplant; I said using steroid increases the statistical odds that one will require organ transplant. The % of bodybuilders who require organ transplant or suffer from artherosclerosis is much higher than the general population.

suckmymuscle -- all those guys had issues not because of steroids but because of other substance such as  diuretics and yes Arnold's heart issue was genetic. I don't know why people insist on saying that Arnold's heart issue came from steroids when in fact its common sense that it runs in his family.

Whats with some people pointing everything to steroids when so many things that happen to people would of happened regardless.

I rather do couple of light cycles then eat high sugary foods, high fat foods every single day. HHHMMMM i wonder which one of those will have more side affects down the line.

Lets keep the eye on the ball people. Millions of people die every single day from ALCOHOL, TOBACO, SUGAR, FAT, RECREATIONAL DRUGS. Don't judge someone else when in fact things that you do on daily basis kill hundreds of thousands of people on DAILY BASIS.

Spot on and 100% correct. This is the smartest and most accurate post with regards to this subject. The general puplic (and especially the dumb media) knows knothing about AAS and is quick to point fingers. Tons of young people in their twenty & thirties die of heart issues and cancer daily and they have absolutely nothing to do with AAS.

Theres alot of bbers from the 70's that while still alive, have had a lot of issues heart and other organs related...  If you have a good medical insurance you too can be alive well past your 50's.

  We get sick and even die regardless of who we are or what we do. 

Dammit. Thanks. Shit. Fuck.

ok DR  

It doesn't take Sir Magdi Habib Yacoub to see cause and effect here.

 Nonsense. I didn't ever claimed that using steroids will result in one requiring organ transplant; I said using steroid increases the statistical odds that one will require organ transplant.

My point exactly i believe roids are safe, as far as drugs go, unless you abuse them .

bodybuilder use alot of steroids back in 70s too (although everyone downplays it)..also sport much smaller then + when people die they dont have ' i died of steroids' on their forehead...

Dennis Newman got lukemia.  As do many people including young children and my friend died of it and he was a skinny guy that never worked out.  Tell me how it was steroid related.

Moot point. 'Look at the what other bad things people do people so what I do isn't so bad?'

Those types are/should be grouped together with gear abuse as unhealthy activities, and vilified as well. When talking about true health and fitness, one should assume we, as health conscious individuals avoid those vices.

I personally eat no sugar, drink little alcohol, don't smoke, eat low fat, moderate carb, moderate protein diet and do no rec drugs nor prescription drugs.
