It's certainly prudent to avoid things before long term effects are known, if that's what you mean by "isn't a fan".

That isn't the same as declaring others are wrong for doing it. Risk tolerance (and the reward for doping) vary wildly between people.

Do you drink coffee?



I do, but coffee and a new drug approved by the FDA are two very different things.

I guess my initial comment should have been worded a bit more differently, as Coffee IS a drug ;) My bad.


Coffee is grandfathered in, like aspirin. Aspirin probably wouldn't pass FDA screening today, because of the stomach problems it causes so many people.
