Marijuana use might lead to the formation of man boobs, Dr. Anthony Youn from Detroit says.

You'll be surprised to know that approximately 41 percent of men aged between 25 and 45 years suffer from a condition called gynecomastia, commonly known as man boobs or moobs. The condition is even more prominent during puberty when almost 61 percent boys aged 14 years suffer from the condition.So what causes gynecomastia? Dr. Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon from Detroit found a "probable" answer to this question during a recent encounter with a patient, reports CNN. Talking to the news channel about the event, Youn said that the patient came to him complaining about man boobs. When the doctor asked him when he noticed this problem, the patient replied it had been a while, though the condition worsened over the years.

During the conversation, Youn smelled marijuana on his breath, a familiar smell at rock concerts, and asked him whether he smoke pot and if so he should discontnue. The use of weed was a probable cause for his man boobs.

The mechanism behind marijuana use causing man boobs

Gynecomastia is caused due to a hormonal imbalance when the ratio between testosterone and estrogen tips in favor of estrogen. When this happens, the body begins creating excessive breast tissues, thus, forming man boobs. A previous study conducted on animals showed that active ingredients of marijuana decrease the production of testosterone in the body.

I say, bullshit. What we see is despeate backlash from a very suprised Front Lash machine, called the War of Drugs.

1/2 the war is soon to be over, if they don't re-stigmatize ganja, in a hurry. So what I thought was the usual yellow journalism
was this.
---------------
The first study connecting marijuana use and gynecomastia was conducted in 1972. However, findings of the study were abandoned after a contradicting study revealing no connection between the two was released in 1977. Following this, many studies confirmed that testosterone levels were lower in chronic marijuana users compared to nonusers but none of them could prove that weed was responsible for it.

Now with the legalization of marijuana use in many U.S. states, researchers will be able to conduct more studies to provide proof of a link between marijuana use and gynecomastia, if any.

-----------------

If any, so a bullshit article like we see in poltics all time. This is just an agenda, skewed facts, a lot like the gun control stuff.

You have the unmitigated gall to dispute a plastic surgeon from Detroit pontificating pharmacology?

That was always the big scare we would hear back in the 70's. "Smoke weed and you'll grow tits."

I am pretty sure this is caused from all the hormone filled meat and milk we consume.

Or a complete lunatic would think its the ganja. Whatever lets them sleep at night I guess.
