They warn that side effects include:
These include enlargement of the genital organs, aggressive behavior, early aging of the bones, premature growth of pubic hair, and increased sexual drive.

Soo, um.. still waiting for the list of side effects. Those are mostly benefits. Hell, I know some of those bastids in high school didnt get a friggin' puberty until like.. 18 years old. I'm thinking they're STILL suffering from TDS. Tiny Dick Syndrome.

So, um.. aging bones? Aggressive behavior? A bigger dick? By calling attention to it, I think they just made a new black market for childhood enhancement drugs! Soccer moms will give their kids that extra boost for competitive sports! WHOOHAH!

As kid athlete (football, basketball, wrestling, martial arts..) I supplemented with testosterone boosting mineral and herbal combinations (tribulus terrestris, zinc, magnesium and potassium, etc.) and I suppose those were the "side effects".

Those supplements encourage your body to produce more of it's own while supplementing with the hormone itself causes your testes and adrenal glands to stop producing your own.

Giving somebody that isn't at least in their 20s testosterone can be extremely bad because it can totally screw up their endocrine system and have it not work properly the rest of their lives. Also with the premature aging of the bones it just not that the bones age, but the plates that they are made of fuse together sooner than they normally would. When that happens in people that's normally the time they stop growing in height, so if somebody young takes an outside form of testosterone it can make them end up a lot shorter than they might have otherwise been if they were allowed to grow naturally.

I saw an episode of House the other day where this happens. A 6-year-old girl starts having periods, and her 8-year-old brother becomes territorial and aggressive because their father starts using a male enhancement cream and the residue that he excretes through his skin is absorbed by them when he touches them.

HAHAHAHA, I remember that episode. They thought the dad was tagging his kids, but he was just lubing up their skin with WEINER CREAM.
