Overall a pretty good thread, especially since its on a gaming forum. But one thing really pissed me off when i skimmed through a couple of these pages; Your ideas about creatine.
Creatine is naturally made in your body, it is in most foods with high protein, in small amounts for most, but fish has the most amount. Creatine is not at all BAD for you. It does not cause cancer in any way, whoever said that is way to uneducated to be posting. It CAN be bad for your kidneys, but that can only occur when you are overdosing on creatine with over 20 grams a day (2.5-5 grams is recommended a day) along with drinking a minimal amount of water.
I took creatine for 3 months this winter/spring. My parents were extremely skeptical about it so i agreed to get tested before taking creatine and a month of taking creatine. In the beginning, my kidney levels (forget what they are called) were normal and after a month of taking 5 grams of creatine a day they were only slightly raised while still staying in the normal range.
