WASHINGTON: Men who take muscle-building supplements are at a higher risk of developing testicular cancer, a new study has warned. The association is consistent with anecdotal reports and scientific evidence that molecules that mimic the effects of testosterone (or can be converted to it) shrink the testicles and affect their performance. The research was done on supplements such as creatine and androstenedione Establishing whether particular supplements are more harmful than others would require a much larger study. And men who started using supplements at the age of 25 or younger had a 121 percent increase in risk.

The latest: A new study, published in the British Journal of Cancer on Monday, found evidence of a troubling connection between men who took muscle-building supplements and their risk of developing testicular cancer. Researchers found a clear relationship between the use of muscle-building supplements and the risk of developing cancer even after controlling for other factors like race and age. Participants in the control group and the group with cancer had similar levels of education, prevalence of smoking, alcohol drinking and height. Overall, men who used muscle-building supplements increased their risk of developing testicular cancer by 65 percent.

Critically, the study doesn't specifically name supplements that were used by the study's participants but they included 30 different types of powders and pills. And the results suggest a relationship between supplement use and cancer, but it don't prove that the supplements cause cancer. Previous research has linked ingredients in performance-enhancing supplements to a substance that caused testicular damage in rats Another has shown a high prevalence of performance-enhancing supplement use among people diagnosed with testicular cancer. In the meantime, the new study's results suggest that further research could potentially provide much-needed insights into what causes this type of cancer.>>>> http://www.healthyminimarket.com/alpha-fuel-720/
