I have an intimate understanding of how the industry operates. In a nutshell, it is sustained by the supplement companies that sponsor the athletes who represent them. This in turn inspires fans who admire the athletes to purchase the products they represent, thus creating a cycle that drives record sales and profits, all the while potentially harming the health of many involved in the industry later on down the line.

A fairly large number of men will also suffer a hip fracture and once someone does, it's very common that their overall quality of life will decline. Sometimes it puts them on a much faster path to their eventual demise.
