Stallone defends use of Human Growth Hormone

I've heard both for and against arguments about using HGH. I think if it improves the quality of life, then go for it! People are living longer, so it's pretty important to stay in decent shape.

I dunno, he is sometime fairly smart about things. Rambo was cool and his arms were indeed huge in it.

I think it is his business what he does. I wouldn't use it, but if he wants to fine.

Initially, I think it is a terrible message. The use of a hormone to build muscles is essentially the same as the use of a steroid. The body has a natural level of HGH and increased levels of this hormone could have all sorts of effects.

For example, some people produce too much HGH and after their bodies stop lengthening the longbones because the growth plates have calcified, HGH causes their bones to keep laying down bone. Becoming over thick and a burden. Agromegally, I think.
