    Paul - What's to "buy into" with organic foods? It's simply food grown without pesticides.

    Well, a little more complicated than that. You seem to be saying herbicides are okay.
    pesticides kill pests. Herbicides kill weeds. Not as effectively as they used to, since many
    weeds have become resistant to round-up over the years and now many farmers have
    to use a concoction of several different herbicides with different modes of action to kill weeds.
    They become harder and harder to kill every year as weeds adapt to what's trying to kill them.

    Yes it's more complicated than that. I just kept it short to make the overall point. For example pesticide treatment is still used in organic, otherwise the bugies would take over. But the pesticides used with organic are natural, not synthetic.

    An example, i ate my last non-organic apple when i was around 25 years old. I loved apples but they just twisted my stomach into knots - couldn't take it any longer. Then i guess it was around ten years ago, i saw organic apples in the supermarket and figured I'd give a few a try. Ate them with no stomach upset at all. I've been eating organic apples ever since - love 'em.

    Look, no food is 100% guaranteed safe. I know all about the e-coli potential problem with organic. That being said, I thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables before cooking or consuming them, and I've never had any problem at all.

    Steve by me reading this post I’m guessing your roughly 35?

    Older than that.

    Suffice to say though i have a body shape that is probably superior to most 35 year olds out there. My waist size is actually where I was at 25 years old, and it was pretty good back then.

    I don't lift as much as you do, although i used to lift a lot. But I still lift light weights almost every day. I believe it is important to keep the muscles strong for a multitude of reasons.

    It's no accident that I'm in great shape, excellent cardio, etc, and have never been to a hospital for any illness. I eat right as previously noted, don't smoke, don't drink coffee, tea or use any other stimulants, drink alcohol only on occasion and moderate amounts when I do, and the only drug in my medicine cabinet is aspirin in which I can't recall the last time I've used one.

    You see, my goal in life is to outlive all you bastiges on here, even those much younger than me. ;)B)

    Well if your younger than say 45 you can’t understand what I mean. Every guy my age and older knows exactly what I’m talking about except a few here and there, if you are older than me then great for you, your very lucky to feel like your in your 20’s lol. I am trying though, one thing I’m proud of is when I was 27 I started my 9 week training academy for the Sheriff’s Department and had to punch a hole in my belt because it was too loose, fast forward to today and I can still use that same hole in my belt.

    As for "test" I presume you mean testosterone. Thru proper diet, my body naturally produces the levels of that which I need.

    And I've never used Viagra - I can still cut diamonds with it. If the Perkies ever spent a weekend with me, I'm sure there wouldn't be any complaints...other than "stevek, go easier on us, you're wearing us out." LOL

    Steve....I think you and Perk should just have a "Johnson" contest and get it over with! ;)B)

    I never said that i feel like i'm in my 20's. I stated that my waist size is the same as when I was 25.

    i'll be brutally honest with ya. In my opinion people out there are making a big mistake trying to turn back the clock in an unnatural manner. It will do much more harm than good in the long run.

    You can take whatever chit you want Paul, but you'll still have a 48 year old heart, liver, kidneys, etc...and placing all that unnatural garbage in your body, will only prematurely age your internal organs and the rest of your body.

    Nothing wrong with trying to feel younger, that's a good thing...but the right way is to do it naturally. Give up bad habits such as poor diet and replace it with losing weight naturally not thru fad diets, but with natural foods which are overall lower in calories and infinitely healthier than the processed junk food out there.

    Paul - I believe the key to this is reading and learning. Learn not only about the so-called "benefits" of these wonder drugs, but also the side effects. Determine if it's worth the risk.

    Don't just read the marketing propaganda from the drug manufacturer, also read info from reputable medical websites.

    Look, if i'm dying of cancer and have a week to live, and the doc says stevek there's a new miracle drug that may work and cure the disease, but it may kill ya in a few days...I'd say go ahead doc give me the damn drug.

    But a suspect drug, supplement or whatever for a basically healthy person to take with a discernible risk down the road? Is that worth it? I say definitely not. I mean even something as benign as aspirin is a known factor in causing stomach ulcers and other problems.

    Also keep in mind that there could always be new side effects discovered in the future about any of the wonder drugs out there.

    I get all that Steve hence the reason why I’ve only taken Whey Protein powder and that’s with having a very serious workout routine for years and never packing on 35 pounds of muscle like my Roid friends.
