mikesta707 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Apparently, human trials for a substance that promotes "phenomenal" muscle growth is getting close http://singularityhub.com/2009/12/08/super-strength-substance-myostatin-one-step-closer-to-human-trials/ It is going to be interesting to see the dynamic of the geek/nerd, bully relationship once this "substance" becomes available to the public.

PugJr Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Man, I bet that stuff takes off 30 years of your life as well. Even if the side effects don't seem bad currently, this could just be sheer ignorance. People 200 years ago thought giving mercury (Possibly some other fatal substance) to patience was a way to cure people. Live it natural as any scientific "benefit" has always been a disaster for the human body. (I'm not saying certain drugs that keep people alive due to certain diseases are bad for them in specific, as it out-weighs the side-effects.)

JonnoTheDev Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 People 200 years ago thought giving mercury (Possibly some other fatal substance) to patience was a way to cure people It was Radium that was discovered around WWII. As we all know it is a radioactive substance that is lethal, however back in the day it was used in face creams, toothpaste, watches, and god knows what else until people started becoming sterile and dying.
