It’s well known and established that any hormone replacement therapy greatly increases incidents of cancer - it’s also partially why it’s banned in athletics.

HRT does not GREATLY increase incidents of cancer. Why would it? If it is the same as what the subject produces but not enough of it, the result should be negligible. It's banned in sports for performance equality not health reasons. Arnold Schwartzenegger took massive amounts of testosterone to define his physique and he's still living and smoking cigars at 76.

Arnold Schwartzenegger took massive amounts of testosterone to define his physique and he's still living and smoking cigars at 76.

And Arnie is a man, his body expects to have high levels of testosterone. I bet if he took estrogen instead, his physique would be very differently defined, and who knows if he'd still be around today. The issue isn't people that are lacking, it's people that are already 'normal' but take a bunch to try to become something they're not.

Your body has trace amounts of cyanide, toxins, dangerous chemicals/elements in it, but that doesn't mean getting a lot more of them are good for you!
