Not all steroids
are created equal. In fact, the word steroid encompasses hormones that
are so different, it can drive you downright crazy trying to sort them
all out. For example, birth-control pills for women are steroid
hormones, but you won't get muscular by taking them. Cortisone is
another type of steroid that will, in fact, make you lose muscle.
Fenfluramine is an appetite suppressant, and phentermine
increases the metabolism. Yet this combination of drugs poses
significant health risks, including pulmonary hypertension and
brain damage. |
