Really!
Thanks! I have bookmarked that site for later perusal...
Heaven knows I can always use a source for good and less expensive
supplements! I often shop GNC on their discount days with my card.

I like "Isopure" Whey powder.

Good lordy!
Why does every one have to throw steroids into the mix???

I've never touched a steroid in my life!
I don't want to be one of those 250lb. shredded phreaks.

I do, however, want to build a decent amount of muscle and stay lean so
I can look good naked.

Even of one DOES take steroids, you can't sit your ass on the couch and
eat burgers and fries and look like a bodybuilder!

It takes a proper diet and HOURS per week in the gym to do that!
Lots of time, HARD work and dedication!

Steroids, even for the pro's, are a very minor part of the equation.

There really are not that many weight lifters that screw around with
that stuff. Most of us just want to look good and have a nice, buff
physique.

Grow the hell up already! Sheesh!

Actually both sides are correct - medical advances, immunizations,
nutrition, etc are all contributing factors to Americans longevity. So
its a combination of things. However increased supplementation of
vitamins/antioxidents/minerals is also right up there with why we live
a bit longer today (btw its not just your daily multivitamin anymore)
http://www.unc.edu/~lschleng/bothsexes.html
Not only do people use supplementation as a preventative measure, but
also to help treat diseases where modern medicine may have failed.
I think this is just one of those two sided for/against arguements
where people just have to disagree and go back into their corners
without changing anybodys viewpoints!

For Christ's sake. This guy isn't a football player or a boxer, he's a body
builder,where science, study, documentation and hardwork is a necessity.

This makes it very clear the miniscule brainpower of these idiots that,
because they are totally ignorant in a field, have to change the subject by
insults.

Pretty obvious guys. Try alt.support.morons down the hall maybe?

That's my _point_, steroid breath.

You're reading comprehension is as poor as your
nutritional comprehension.
