THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY MORONIC HEADLINE because when the sheeple hear the word "steroids," they automatically think of anabolic-androgenic steroids, the athletic performance-enhancing drug, and that's NOT what this study is about.

It's about corticosteroids, which ARE NOT commonly referred to as "steroids," they're commonly referred to as "cortisone."

Corticosteroids bear no relationship to the stuff the gym rats use to get "pumped up."

Corticosteroids are what gives people like Jerry Lewis (who was being treated for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) the infamous "chipmunk cheeks." It makes you put on weight so it shouldn't be a surprise it also has a diabetes connection.

I didn’t think of anabolics, so you can cut out the histrionics and grow up.
