      I don’t know, but I doubt it. Most drugs have some kind of side effect. I don’t think there’s a good short-cut drug to get bigger and stronger and not have side effects. The best way is to eat a lot of the right things and exercise a lot.

      The most common drugs people take are steroids, but these can have bad side effects such as liver and kidney diseases, give you high blood pressure, hair loss and make you aggressive (roid rage!). So I would avoid taking these!

      Doing excercise and eating healthy food is the best natural way to make you stonger. Maybe try lots of spinach like Popeye.

      I can’t think of any drugs that will make you stronger and bigger withough any side effects. There’s debate whether food supplements like Whey proteins can help you bulk up… although the jury is still out on that one.

      So maybe there’s no pill to make you big and strong, but there may be a pill soon to make you live longer! I read recently in the paper that scientist want to develop is a pill to slow down the ageing process… and potentially live until you’re 150! Wowsers!

      I don’t know for sure, but it’s not likely. Even water can have a side effects if you drink enough of it (your blood gets diluted & you run into all sorts of problems). If you want to get bigger and stronger, eating the right sorts of foods and doing exercise that includes weights probably has an effect.

      A BBC programme (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p011jgbs) showed some guys trying to get more muscly – one of them drank chicken, mozarella and milk smoothies. Euch!!

      I don’t think there are. Steroids have lots of well known side-effects and aren’t a sensible substitute for hard work and good diet. With most drugs there is a delicate balance between benefit and harm. With things like steroids and diet drugs the fact that they are taken without medical supervision means that they are more likely to cause harm than related drugs given by doctors.
