harmful effects of steroids

Article Abstract by: vitalforce    

Original Author: vital force
THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF STEROIDS :
some users may experience:
...Acne
...Fluid retention,
...Aching
joints,
...High blood pressure,
...Lower HDL (the good form of cholesterol),
...Jaundice,
...and liver enzyme abnormalities.
People who inject steroids with shared needles run the risk of contracting or transmitting hepatitis or HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic analogs of the male hormone testosterone. They promote muscle growth, increase lean body mass, and stimulate fat loss.
DO STEROIDS REALLY WORK ?????
Despite what anti-anabolic groups say most athletes, coaches, and trainers, report significant increases in muscle mass, strength, and power from their use. A placebo effect is one thing but millions of people have used steroids since the late 1950’s. If the drugs were not effective they wouldn’t be as popular as they are.
