[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 157266, member: 38930"] [URL="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/sep/21/testosterone-treatments-men-no-benefits-study-fda"]Researchers say there are no benefits of testosterone treatments for men[/URL] Old article I know, but I find it interesting that this information is out there. Of course I've read plenty of studies that discuss apparent libido, bone density, fat reduction benefits, etc, etc. And unless it's placebo, it's delivering for me. But it does make you pause to wonder when a mainstream media outlet basically labels TRT as snake oil. After 5 seconds of thinking on it of course it's realised that it's horribly biased and imbalanced bunk to claim zero benefits. But why is it there? The moral question again? Call me cynical but I've noticed a decent proportion of naysayers to be women. Having said that my own (male) doc pronounced to me that because my free T is over his 'ideal' maximum of 18ng/dl, it was no longer TRT but anabolic steroids. He has directed me to decrease my 100mg/week dose accordingly, but I feel great at 20 ng/dl. He didn't point to any actual problems from my lipids, psa, hematacrit or other blood values. [/QUOTE]
