[Glycomann]

You think Jack ever said something like...Well there's juicers and then there's juicers...

 

[Curt James]

^ lol

I assume Jack was against the use of steroids.

That's worth a Google...

Larry King Live, aired July 17, 2000

KING: Steroids? You ever take steroids?
LA LANNE: Steroids, I wouldn't take a steroid if you'd give me $10 trillion.
KING: No way.
LA LANNE: Absolutely. That -- look at how many people, especially in my profession, some of these body builders, you know, some of them have died, and they end up in the hospital taking these steroids. It's -- you start fooling around with Mother Nature, you start taking all these supplements, all these artificial things, it's going to catch up.
KING: The weightlifters, a lot of them do it.
LA LANNE: But you know why?
KING: Athletes.
LA LANNE: Because the only thing they think of -- they -- you know, a lot of these people, you know, it's going to take years off their life, but if they can break a world's record -- I talk to a lot them, say I don't care about that, I just want to break this record, and they don't care how they do it. It is absolutely the truth.
But for the average person, boy, stay away from all that unnatural stuff. You know drugs -- you know, so many people, they don't. They've got one thing to put you to sleep, another thing to wake you up, another thing to make you go to the bathroom. You put all these things together, and boy, that is why so many people have a deleterious effect mixing all these things together.
KING: You don't take any drugs.
LA LANNE: Nope, no way.
KING: No prescription drugs.
LA LANNE: Nope.

Me to Jack: how can testosterone be a "drug" when it's naturally occurring in your body?

 

[soxmuscle]

Fortunately, Jack is dead and won't be able to spit out more bologna in his response.
