It is probably tied in there somewhere, but I bet its only "part of the story"... the human body is such an amazing "machine" - but it operates on action / reaction, "gate" driven activities -- results are regulated by adjusting things that promote or inhibit various parts of the whole cycle. We discover just part of it and then start generating these reports or implied solutions that only deal w/ part of it but don't always understand the consequences.
A very simple example of a perceived solution to say estrogen-pattern bodyfat depositing. One would then think, hey cool, how about I just take an estrogen-inhibitor? Sure it may limit the bodyfat contribution driven by estrogen, but estrogen is also one of the fundamental hormones that goes into balancing who you are - your moods, physical things like acne, etc etc etc. Meaning you can't define a solution that deals w/ a particular part of the "cycle" that you don't like or don't want to deal w/ but the consequences to the other parts of the "cycle" can be dire. That's a very simple reason we constantly promote, esp for women, KNOWLEDGE before you dive into something like AAS use that might be driven by "My boyfriend said winny would lean me out"....
LOL another soapbox rant
