    For this reason, the drug mainly appeals to the younger generation, as they attempt to "fit in". In addition, the use of steroids is often glamorized by various ads, most of which are simply false advertising. However, teens can often be captivated by this marketing, causing its overall usage frequency to escalate as time progresses.]]>     2018-05-17 21:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nelson_lindsay44/28srt4est3c5/wish/261750842     Harmful Effects nelson_lindsay44 https://padlet.com/nelson_lindsay44/28srt4est3c5/wish/261758033 The use of anabolic steroids can cause a harmful disturbance of the body’s normal hormone levels. In addition, the drug can negatively impact its user's body chemistry.

    The side effects are mainly cardiovascular and include:
    • Increased heart rate (greater chance of heart attack)
    • High blood pressure
    • Greater risk of stroke due to a decrease in high-density lipoprotein

It was later used by Germans in WWII in order to artificially improve their strength and expand their physical capabilities (Fun Fact: this was the inspiration for Captain America's "Super Serum").

    In the 1956 Olympics, the Soviets provided a majority of their athletes with steroids, which led them to become an overwhelming success (which came with some overwhelming suspicion...). Once the Soviets were exposed, anabolic steroid use became more common throughout the world.]]>     2018-05-17 22:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nelson_lindsay44/28srt4est3c5/wish/261760063     Additional Risk nelson_lindsay44 https://padlet.com/nelson_lindsay44/28srt4est3c5/wish/261761933 1. It could be created anywhere
    - Being illicit, the drug is most often created in under-the-radar locations-- but really, anywhere.
    2. Not held to any standards
    - What could it even be compared to? It's illegal. The dealer can really do whatever they want to it.
    3. Taken with unknown strength
    - The strength of each dose can't be completely verified in any way.
    4. Steroids are usually addictive
    - Of course, there's the slight chance that it wouldn't be, but are you really willing to take that risk?
