Looks Can Kill

A Doctor's Journey Through Steroids, Addiction and Online Fitness Culture

I really appreciated that finally someone seems to acknowledge that we moved the BMI goal posts that make it sound like the Western world is in Obesity crisis! (Super pet peeve wtv)
I loved that Shammaa is a powerlifter and regular in the world of physical culture, I don't know that this book will convince anyone to stop taking aesthetic enhancing drugs like steroids if they are already deep in the culture. The bit about how bodybuilders make money by being steroid drug dealers could probably have used more sources. It's light accessible reading, if you're more interested in women's hormones and bodybuilding culture look up Victoria Felkar.
