There are wars, real or imagined, on coal, faith and guns, as previously reported. Regulators might as well cut out the middleman and go straight after testosterone.

Cue the Food and Drug Administration's nascent war on testosterone. Members of an FDA advisory committee agreed almost unanimously this week that drug developers should further study the potential cardiovascular risks of testosterone replacement therapies and who should take them.
