In a new study found in the Journal of the American Medical Association there is discussion about the link between Testosterone and stroke, heart attack and death.
Dr Jen Landa herself was quoted as saying in the article titled – is testosterone therapy safe for men? “The current study misses so many important facets of testosterone replacement therapy that the results are practically meaningless” according to the Huffington Post.
There are multiple studies that have shown that Testosterone therapy protects against heart disease and decreases mortality.
“In a study published in June 2012 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism that also examined veterans, the authors concluded that testosterone treatment resulted in a 39 percent decreased mortality risk vs. men not treated with testosterone. Importantly, many studies have shown that men with lower testosterone levels are at a higher risk of mortality. A 2007 study also in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism studied 794 men aged 50-91 years old for over 11 years and showed that men with testosterone levels in the lowest quartile were 40 percent more likely to die than those with higher levels. In this study, low testosterone also predicted increased risk of cardiovascular disease.”
“I expect that when a article is published in a reputable journal like the Journal of the American Medical Association it would pass through multiple levels of scrutiny and not get published. quoted Saul Kaye”
Shame on you Journal of the American Medical Association!!
