    Question Creatine & Cancer

    What's up fellas.
    I've been an avid reader of this site since it's went live but this is my first post. Just wanted to get everyones idea on the new study that links cancer and creatine. Is this bullsh** scare tactics to keep people from taking creatine or is there some validity to this subject. Thanks for your input...

    They said that it was long term usage which could mean 50 years. Of course in that time, any number of other things could cause cancer. It's funny that we try to attach cause and effect relations sometimes based on correlations. I'm pretty sure in this case, this is so. If I eat a ton of bread and only eat bread, then die of scurvy, this means bread causes scurvy? Sheeze!

    The French newspaper report of the alleged study linking creatine use to cancer didn't mention who sponsored the study, the lab or university where the study was done, the length of time, the scientists who did the study, or even the name of the journal in which the study was originally published.

    Even an idiot would have accidentally included at least one of those easy to obtain items.

    Sounds like the French just wanted to start a scare.

    How many house hold items that we used 30 years ago do we know or greatly suspect cause cancer? How many things that we use today will be known to cause cancer in 30 years? We dont know. For all we know, staring at a PC monitor all day causes it.

    Personally, I say the hell with it. I'm still going to use creatine.

    Referring to the computer monitor reply, in Muscle and Fitness this month theres an article saying that a chemical used in the manufacture of computer monitors to stop them burning is slowly released into the air while the monitor is on that can cause a variety of symptoms such as headaches naseau etc. It seems like there is no escape from harmful things
