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.

I work a lot with medical science, and get a bit frustrated at times, with our society's (even many doctors) willingness to accept junk science as fact. Don't even get me started on the media. No one want to think for themselves anymore because are too busy trying to make a buck or amusing ourselves. Unfortunately, it seems that science education is going backwards while technology continues to move forward and suck up more and more of our time to actually enjoy life and actually hone our critical thinking skills.
Getting off of my soap box, now.
BTW, I am really sore from my workout this morning.

Your point about science education going backwards is so important in this discussion. Frequently, I think many peole will hear somehting and not be able to distinguish it from actual fact, hearsey or misunderstand what is being said.
this is extremely important when kids who haven't had a grounded education in biology believe that they can take a very small dose of an anabolic steroid & it is no different thatn taking prednisone.
