Issue Highlights

From the Editor:
Sales of prescription medications dwarf those of over-the-counter drugs, but the latter, at $17 billion per year, are not small. In this issue, two sets of investigators explore the use of body building, weight loss, and performance enhancing substances by military personnel. Both studies find high levels of use, and significant concerns raised by such use.
