George:

    Jsut because it's a natural substance doesn't mean it's not dangerous in
non-natural doses.  Testosterone is natural, but increases the risk of prostate
cancer when present at high normal doses over a long period of time.  Mind you,
I also read that men who have sex more than three times a week have a lower
probability of getting breast cancer (rare in men already) than men who have
sex fewer times.  So I'm all for preventative medicine ;o)
