I know i know, but i wanted to post some articles with all their references to see if there is any truth to the 'speeds up you life line' threat.
if any1 has access to sports medcine journals or anything listed below please let me know. Otherwise, they are just a good read...
Let the copy and paste begin....
GROWTH HORMONE AND LONGEVITY
"Many competitive athletes pump themselves full of growth hormone because they think that it will make them stronger. Six years ago, a study from the University of Wisconsin appeared to show that growth hormone makes older men more muscular, less fat and best of all more sexual. More recent reports show that growth hormone does none of these (1,2,3) and may even shorten your life.
When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. A recent report from the University of North Dakota (4) shows that mice/who are dwarfs because they lack growth hormone/ live one and a half times as long as mice whose bodies produce that hormone. Other studies show that short men live 5 years longer than their taller countrymen and that smaller breeds of dogs and horses live longer also. Taking large doses of growth hormone is associated with arthritis, fluid retention and a type of finger pain called carpal tunnel syndrome. Some men who take growth hormone develop large breasts.
As men age, they lose their strength, male assertiveness and much of their sexuality. Growth hormone will not help them but taking extra testosterone will. From age 50 to 70, the average man's blood level of testosterone drops by more than 40%. Injections and skin patches of testosterone can correct this. However, testosterone can cause an existing prostate cancer to spread through the body, so all men should get their prostates checked by a urologist, an ultrasound of the prostate and a blood test called PSA before they consider taking testosterone.
