Can you drink alcohol while taking steriods?
Absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream can have a major effect on the anabolic steroid user. As a rule alcohol breaks down solids such as tissues and compounds. The anabolic steroid molecule is transformed from a testosterone molecule to an estrogen. Estrogen quickly aromatizes in the system and speeds along some of the most feared side effects of steroid use. Increased mood swings, gynomastia( aka man boobs), and severley shrunken testicles can all result from the use of these two substances. In addition oral ananbolic steroids are activated through the first pass throught the human liver, then filtered through the blood stream to nourish the muscular tissue. this breaking down process is roughly equivalent to consuming a 6 pack of light beer first thing in the morning, daily, on your liver. If you then drink a six pack or what ever later you are seroiously taxing your liver. Subcutaneous or injectable steroids do not pass through the liver and are less dangerous to use with alcohol but still not recommended.
Why is the use of pesticides such as DDT being discouraged in many countries?
There are SO many reasons. Basically it affected fish, animals that ate the fish, humans, and especially bats. It even hurt microorganisms badly causing pour conditions for the animals who needed the organisms, them being plankton, algae, and mostly water based microorganisms.As you can see, it was because it was a serious health concern, for it got into the water and harmed living organisms from there.DDT was banned in the United States when it was discovered that bald eagle populations and alligator populations were dying off due to extremely fragile egg shells and lack of sexual development. Since then, DDT specifically and similar organochlorine compounds have been linked to diabetes, gynomastia (male breasts), polycystic ovarian syndrome, certain autoimmune disorders, male and female infertility, low progesterone, and cancers such as liver, uterine, breast, and prostate. A number of studies from the US, Canada, and Sweden have found that the prevalence of diabetes in a population increases with serum DDT levels. Studies in the US, Australia, and Germany are also finding that the prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome and similar male anti-androgenic disorders in a population increases with serum levels of DDT. Studies in China showed there was a positive, monotonic, exposure-response association between preconception serum total DDT and subsequent early pregnancy losses. DDT is also showing to be no longer effective against malaria-bearing mosquitoes due to DDT-resistant "superbugs" appearing throughout parts of Africa, Asia, and parts of Central America. Unfortunately, DDT is still being used in countries that export food to the US, Europe, and Canada.
