it sounds like you are denouncing my views and espousing your own.
Additionally you are getting irate despite respectful conversation on my end.
I could take a low blow and blame that on your possible drug usage, but honestly its more likely you are just a petulant asshole by nature.
Additionally what is considered drug abuse is not simply an "opinion" its a factual term.
"Drug abuse is the intentional and harmful use of a substance (such as a drug or medication) in a manner that deviates from prescribed guidelines or societal norms, often leading to negative physical, psychological, or social consequences. It typically involves the following:
- Using drugs in ways other than prescribed (e.g., taking higher doses or using someone else’s prescription).
- Using drugs for recreational purposes despite the risks of harm."
You will note the first two points make clear that using a drug without a prescription is drug abuse, and your claim that bodybuilders are "healthier" than 90% of the US population is subjective at best, but overall false.
There are several health metrics and indicators by which to measure health, being lean and active are only a few, damage sustained to your cell's and DNA is another, one that cannot be observed by the human eye or with any consumer available technology.
"A 2019 retrospective cohort study compared all-cause mortality rates in 545 male laboratory-confirmed anabolic steroid users (who were identified as part of these anti-doping programs) with 5450 healthy controls consisting of randomly selected age-matched individuals from the Danish population and found a threefold higher mortality rate in the anabolic steroid users [172]"
And this is just among standard AAS users, and not body builders specifically, who are known to use higher and riskier levels of steroids, as well as sustain significantly more strain and damage on their bodies such as when they cut hydration putting strain on their organs, consume large amounts of calories (another health marker, shown that the lower caloric expenditure a living being has the longer it lives on average, especially so for mammals).
