Growth hormone doesn't slow aging and be harmful

Looks as if anti-aging claims are growing old.

"The findings from a new study suggest that growth hormone is not a useful therapy for "setting back the clock" in elderly individuals. The beneficial changes in body composition that the hormone produces are small and side effects are common."

Manlier men with bigger man-boobs?

"As noted, the side effects were common with growth hormone therapy and included swelling, joint pain, gynecomastia, (breast development in men), and carpal tunnel syndrome (painful compression of the median nerve that extends from the forearm into the wrist.) In addition, growth hormone therapy may have slightly increased the risk of diabetes."

Maybe growth hormone would help improve the use of English (see title of article). The article's author should try it.
