I included it once in parentheses for clarification purposes. Not exactly chronic use
of the term, is it?

Your reaction to the term showed it.

It's not some abstract 'university' or hospital that wrote those things. It's people associated (maybe) 
with them. I don't know why you (seem to) think that someone with a university or hospital affiliation, 
no matter how prestigious,  automatically knows what he/she is talking about (except me, of course). 

And I didn't say that you can't read or "right"(NB!). I said that you apparently choose not to be exposed 
to viewpoints you disagree with.

I'm not concerned with Androstenedione  - I just pointed out that your so-called "experts" don't even 
know the difference between it and real anabolic steroids. I don't know what you mean by "steroids in 
general", because, for example, birth control pills are steroids too. And they too have side effects, as 
do most, if not all, drugs. I just find public's and sportswriters' indignation about anabolic steroids - 
as they open their second pack of Camels, munch on their third Big Mac, and wash it all down with their 
eigth Bud - rather comical, not to mention hypocritical.
