Steroid Abuse in Men

News of eating disorders in men have increased exponentially. Reports of men starving themselves on the one hand, binge eating on the other, and using anabolic steroids in between.

The side affects are scary but drug users usually fail to pay them any attention.

As the pressure on men to achieve the perfect body rises to meet the pressure on women, the rates of eating disorders and body obsession are rising. The industry that feeds on men’s insecurities, just as beauty magazines and the diet industry feed on women’s, are equalling the battlefields in a dangerous way.
