Where Are the Bodies?

My second multi media source is using a YouTube video called "Truth about Steroids" posted by colekingsly. This video is of a news segment that talks about how all of the media tries to make steroids sound so bad and unhealthy for you when really they aren't. They say steroids are blown up way out of proportion and not really that big of a health risk or cause any death to healthy adult men. A 44 year old man, John Ramont exclaims, "Where are the bodies?! Where are the bodies?". Stating if the media is going to speak out against steroids and say its such a health risk he wants to know "where the bodies are", or where is the evidence that steroids are the cause of health issues. There are two middle to older aged men on this video who say they have been taking steroids for most of their lives but haven't had any major health issues at all. Some people try and relate a brain tumor with steroids when a football player, Liolel Zato died after taking steroids his whole life but many experts including his own doctor said steroids had nothing to do with his death. A man said the only major side effect to the steroids that are taken is that they work really well.
The video opened my eyes a little bit on the other side of steroids. For men who don't want to use steroids for any reason but to make their bodies look better and have better self esteem I can't say I totally disagree now. Seeing some proof that there are no MAJOR health risks all the time and no cause of death I could be okay with men taking steroids for the right reasons of making their body's better.
