I was offered a presciption for steroids in 1952. I went to the library and found out what they were and I told my doctor no. I knew all kinds of athletes who took them I don't think any one really benefitted from their use. George Park

    Originally posted by craiglll@yahoo.com I looked at about 20 case abstracts last night that I got by googling steroid and medical studies. I got well over 1000 studies but randomly looked at only 20. All 20 that I looked at well animal studies. Most of the studies used rats or mice, one study used guinea pigs. Almost all concluded that not only did they not find substantial nevgative health effects from steroid use, but also, there seemed to be no long term physical abiblities gained from the steroid use. One study found more negative effects from mice eating fatty diets than from taking steroids. One case did have more than 1% have bad effects from the steroids. In this study the mice were given very small doses. I thought that was very interesting because one study suggested that small doses would have very positive benefits. I guess we should all take this stuff if it does not have anything but positive effects, Just give up fat.
