Yeah, I mean you'll feel better for a short amount of time. You'll build up muscle, you feel great, but it's like burning your candle at both ends. Ultimately, if you want to live longer, you want less of that.

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Now, I just want to be clear. There are some benefits to bringing the levels back up to normal, okay? But going to high, which a lot of people do if they want additional benefits, that's where I think that the main risk comes from.
Conversely, if you're supplementing with growth hormone long-term, the chances that you're having the opposite. That you feel great, but long-term, you might have even greater risk of cancer and heart disease.
I can just sort of say it doesn't make sense to take if our goal is to reduce the risk of cancer and if our goal is to slow the aging process.
