👊🏻 Mythbusters: Creatine causes cancer

A few days ago a clinical trial was published stating that creatine causes cancer... Can this be true? Well, the truth is that it can’t, as stated by Dr. Richard Creider along with 29 other experts in a critique of this clinical trial.

* Problems:

They used mice in which cancerous cell lines were transplanted.

They were given an extremely high dose of creatine, the equivalent of 560 grams in a 154-pound person .

Explanation:

Those mice were much more likely to develop cancer, regardless of the cause .

Anything in massive doses can kill you, even water .

One of the previously published clinical trials showed that creatine could have anticancer 🛡 properties in mice.

I am not convinced...I've taken creatine for over a decade and I have weird striated bulges on my shoulders, and quads, and arms, etc. Maybe cancer or maybe gains


Creatine is one of the most studied supplements, it's about as safe as can be. Thanks for the post, keeping sketchy trials in their place!
