Question

why do anabolic steroids differ from other illegal drugs? a. they have fewer side effects. b. they do not cause intoxication. c. they are only dangerous for men. d. they are derived from natural products. please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances similar to the male hormone testosterone. Unlike many illegal drugs (such as cocaine, heroin, etc. which can cause intoxication - a state of being drunk or drugged in a way that impairs mental and physical abilities), anabolic steroids do not cause intoxication. They have significant side - effects (so A is wrong), are dangerous for both men and women (so C is wrong), and while some are derived from natural substances (like testosterone which is a natural hormone), this is not a unique differentiating factor as many drugs can have natural origins (so D is not the best answer).

Answer:

B. They do not cause intoxication.
