b) This bit bothers me:

"At the end of the study, nearly half of those taking testosterone exhibited the collection of symptoms known as metabolic syndrome -- a fat midsection and other conditions that can lead to heart disease and diabetes. However the difference in metabolic syndrome rates between testosterone takers and placebo takers was not considered statistically significant."

This paragraph stinks of BS science to me. They state one arm with no data on the other arm.

As a general rule, when ever somebody does this type stuff (be it some random paper writer or a company CMO) I assume they are hiding data that runs counter.

If somebody doesn't present the hard numbers that they have, then the numbers probably do not support their argument.

Regardless, the whole T replacement question wrt metabolic syndrom is worth more study.
