Is it safe for the hundreds of thousands that utilize aromisin or arimidex year round for decades?

no, which is why they do so under doctor supervision.

What is the huge concern, lipids? blood pressure?, The risk of using an anti-estrogen year round is miniscule if used properly

The huge concern is that many people don't realize that estrogen is a very important hormone in males from fertility, lipid health, cognitive function, etc. Guys get on here and think that if they crush their estro year-round they will stay lean, dry, etc. It's not smart to just decide you want to take pills to lower your estro year-round without actually knowing if you need to. For some it may be wise and healthy, but not for the masses.

Agreed, obviously i was pertaining to individuals who know what and how they are utilizing such compounds.Someone who blindly takes such compounds with out any idea of how they should administer them can and probably would get negative side effects from it because they wouldn't have blood work done to see where their levels are at and to dial their dosage in for an optimal hormonal profile.

Yessir, we are definitely on the same page. I just err on the side of caution when responding to members that I'm not familiar with that post broad, general questions (no disrespect to OP).

Right, and unless you are doing a privatemdlabs type of deal, bloodwork showing high Estrogen would probably mean your doctor would deal with it with a proper AI. IMO, anyone asking about an OTC Herbal is doing exactly what BRUstrong stated - reading "estro bad" and wanting UPS to deliver something that's supposed to lower it... without knowing what their actual level is. Since the OP mentioned environmental sources, I think this is exactly the case. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
