From MD
Most MD's and other "health experts" will tell u that aas are only minimally effective and have catastrophic side effects. These opinions are based largely on urban legend and a few clinical studies that casually linked aas to various diseases. A study from the university of Parma in Italy showed that healthy BB's who used aas for 2 years had only minimal side effects. 20 BB's with no history of aas use were followed for 2 years during a self-administered aas program. The athletes were well trained and took between 2-12 different performance enhancing drugs. Subjects showed small changes in reproductive hormones (LH, FSH, SHBG), sperm count, fertility index and HDL but no changes in heart structure and only minimal changes in liver function. The subjects showed marked improvements in blood sugar regulation. This was the first long term study of the side effects of aas use in athletes. It showed that the dangers have been exaggerated.
