CHICAGO (AP) - The American Medical Association says there's no
scientific proof to back up the claims of anti-aging hormones.
At their annual meeting in Chicago on Monday, AMA delegates
adopted a new policy on products such as HGH, DHEA and testosterone
used as aging remedies.
With HGH, the AMA says evidence suggests long-term use can
present more risks than benefits. The risks include tissue swelling
and diabetes.
And the AMA says there's no credible evidence that other
hormones, so-called bio-identicals, are safer than traditional
estrogen and progesterone products.
The traditional hormones are only recommended for menopause
symptoms at the lowest possible dose because of long-term health
risks.
The AMA says anti-aging hormone promoters need to rigorous
studies to prove, or disprove, their claims.
