Thoughts About The Material...
I never realized just how many homrones there were invovlved in our body. What I never knew was that you could produce a growth hormone out of bacteria by inserting human genes. I thought that the only way you could get hormones was chemically, like insulin injections, and naturally. I didn't think you could make grow then using bacteria out of common things such as banana's, I was just wondering if they had some major side effects, like if they caused pospubescent hyperproduction?
Above and Beyond
I followed this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone#Side-effects and found out that rhGH can cause an increase in the risk of diabetes, if used for training it can cause growth at a younger age, increase in colon and prostate cancer as well as joint swelling joint pain, carpal tunnel and less sleep.
