<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The prestigious JAMA<\/em>, a newspaper\/magazine considered to be one of the world's leading opinion formers in medicine, recently published this study, warning about the evils of testosterone replacement for certain groups of men: https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/1764051<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as the study is full of flaws - such as being poorly conducted, putting different testosterones (bioidentical and non-bioidentical, things that we know have very different chemical structures and actions in practice) in the same \u201cbucket\u201d, working with sub-optimal levels of testosterone and not taking estradiol into account (yes, part of the testosterone is converted into oestradiol in men with bad lifestyle habits, and this is a major cause of problems that are wrongly attributed to testosterone as the \u201cculprit\u201d) - incidentally, studies on hormones that take into account the patient's lifestyle habits are rare, which is a big mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among many other \u201csmall flaws\u201d, it is something that should be disregarded. Several major, world-renowned organizations are already speaking out about this, and I'd like to highlight this brilliant article by the Life Extension Foundation to explain and prove it: https:\/\/www.lifeextension.com\/magazine\/2014\/3\/response-to-media-reports-associating-testosterone-treatment-with-greater-heart-attack-risk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few more of my comments on the subject:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you noticed how, \u201cmysteriously\u201d, every now and then some \u201cstudy\u201d comes along trying to \u201cburn\u201d things that are cheaper but more effective in improving the health of the population? Recently, we've seen attempts to denigrate omega-3, resveratrol, green tea and even regular physical exercise... To me, it seems clear that the disease industry is \u201cupset\u201d because more and more strategies are appearing to help you be healthier, at a much lower cost than becoming chemically dependent on expensive drugs and treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Many health professionals already automatically believe what is published in some \u201cbig magazine\u201d, such as the NEJM<\/em> or the JAMA<\/em>. Where's your critical judgment, people? Not least because, in recent years, we've seen several examples of \u201cbizarreness\u201d among what these magazines have allowed themselves to report. Disease industry? Conflict of interest? Let everyone analyze their conscience and knowledge and sleep peacefully at night (or not...).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a good week, everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
