The bottom of the article seems to try to draw a link between high DHEA and testosterone and blood preassure.
Might be a bit of a leap, but higher DHEA -> higher testosterone -> higher blood pressure seems to be the takeaway?
This study [0] also links DHEA to higher IGF-1, and IIRC high IGF-1 is also linked to higher rates of cancer.
IGF-1, testosterone, estrogen, etc... they all seem to have optimal health benefits when in an "ideal range". Too low is bad. Too high is also bad. No free lunch it seems.
