human growth hormone

Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, has become a very popular drug in the athletic arena because of two reasons - its dramatic affect on muscle growth and its ability to not be detected in drug tests. Human Growth Hormone is a controversial substance and one that merits a good discussion, though once you argue passed all of the presupposed immoral implications of its affect on fair play, Human Growth Hormone is still something that from a health perspective would be best left to nature.

Like all animals, we secrete a growth hormone that allows us to mature. It is intended to prepare us for the "wild world" to be able to fight predators and secure prey, mate and so on. But these changes do not happen all the time. There is a period of growth, and then it dwindles away. Growth in and of itself is stress on the body, and Human Growth Hormone supplementation can cause changes in the body that it did not plan for. It would be like throwing a million dollars in the street and expecting things to go smoothly. Sure people will have more money and they will spend it, but the unplanned for chaos and money in the economy could be devastating. Such is the story with Human Growth Hormone.
