5. Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids under a doctor’s guidance can assist people who need help gaining weight or treat certain illnesses, such as anemia and cancer. However, when misused, anabolic steroids can be life-threatening. In addition to negatively affecting the body’s hormonal processes, these drugs cause liver damage and tumors, which can lead to yellowing of the skin and eyes.
