- Of the classes I attended or listened to on tape in the fall semester
- (almost all, and *all* the ones regarding calciferol) I don't remember
- Moon ever saying "anabolic steroids" when speaking of calciferol. I
- do, however, remember his referring to calciferol as a "potent
- steroidal hormone". I'm not even sure if this is the same thing. But
- I thought I'd tell you what I remember hearing and what I remember not
- hearing since I was at the lectures.
