For many years we were concerned about giving men testosterone. The basis of this concern was that testosterone contributed to the development of prostate cancer. One piece of 'evidence' that testosterone causes prostate cancer was from the fact that eunuchs never developed prostate cancer.

I like the idea of Dr. Morgentaler, a urologist, he talks about the receptors for testosterone get bound up at a low level of testosterone and more testosterone does not cause any more effect on the receptors and does not contribute to a greater risk of prostate cancer.
in his 20 years as a doctor he has never seen a bodybuilder come into his office for prostate cancer. good read

I enjoyed that, food for thought although I am not sure i agree either. I know several body builders that came down with prostate cancer. I also know just as many or more non body builders that did too.

So who knows
