We all know that using certain types of steroids is bad and the use of it in baseball is even worse. What does that show our children? You can’t be a good ball player unless you use steroids. I feel that my love for baseball has truly dwindled since steroid use has come to light. I was a major baseball fan and I truly lost most if not all interest in the game.

One thing I have learned though is that one of the substances that baseball has banned is the HGH releaser also known as the Human Growth Hormone. Some people call it a steroid but it is not it is a hormone that controls the release of many other hormones in the body and is made by the pituitary gland in the center of the brain. While you are a child, HGH directs the growth of the body. Once you’re an adult, HGH begins to go down a lot with age. I was reading an article and they say that taking HGH can do the following for your body:
· HGH can decrease body fat
· Restoring muscle mass
· HGH may reduce wrinkles.
· HGH may restore lost hair.
· HGH can restore hair color.
· HGH increases energy.
· HGH increases sexual issues.
· HGH may improve cholesterol.
· Improve memory.
· Elevate mood/improve sleep.

Although taking HGH is legal in baseball it is not, I guess one of the reasons is because of the muscle mass and it decreases your body fat? That is something I am interested in finding out more about. I guess they still feel that it is cheating to do these things. Some people think that if you are going to ban a player from taking things to help improve their performance that your would also ban vitamins, proteins shakes and so on. What do you think?
