This is nothing but speculation backed by no scientifical research/controlled studies.This proves nothing.You can pull millions of texts speculating on prostate cancer,roid rage etc.
Where's all the bodybuilder's(who use tons of androgens) from the 60-70's with prostate cancer?
Where's the landslide reports of bodybuilders of today,who use way more now than the 60-70's guys?
Did you even look at all the links I provided? ACTUAL studies that show no rise in PSA levels at all?
This text proves nothing but theory and you are for sure not a reference librarian.> www.acs.ohio-state.edu/units/ cancer/handbook/hormones.pdf

> Prostate cancer: The growth of prostate cancer is aided by male hor-mones, which as a group are called androgens. Anti-hormone therapy isused to slow the growth of metastatic prostate cancer. Anti-hormonetherapy includes suppressing the release of male hormones using high doses of female hormones (estrogens), hormone-suppressing drugs, andanti-androgens to block androgen receptors. Or the testicles are removedto eliminate the major source of androgens. If prostate cancer is confined to the prostate, surgical removal of the gland or radiotherapy is usuallythe best treatment.
