I have not once read a study that suggested creatine is bad for you. I guess since you have this many relatives who are doctors, you must also have a wealth of studies to back up your case. Please supple them.

I have been specifically given a fitness program by two seperate people who have gone to school for this stuff (one in the USA, and one in Calgary) and both have included creatine. There is nothing out there that suggests creatine is bad for you.

Its ironic that you asked me which web site I was getting my info off of when your getting information from two web site that either sell or advertise for supplement companies. Do I need to explain to you how wrong that is?
The first link you listed (mans health) has three advertisments on that page for supplements. One actually has the title "Buy creatine supplements". One of the other links says gain 35 pounds of muscle in 12 weeks... which even with creatine is almost impossable without steriods.
The second link you listed isn't even a study! But it does actually prove several of my other points. Didn't you say my first post was completely wrong?
"it's potentially hazardous to the health to take very high doses of creatine for a prolonged period of time. Experts caution that extended high doses can lead to kidney and liver problems."
"Long-term use of high doses of creatine could potentially damage the kidneys. Don't take creatine if your kidney function is impaired."
You remind me of that Listerine commercial that says "studies" have proven that you don't need to floss if you use Listerine! The people doing the research are funded by, for example, Listerine. They blatantly ignore obvious flaws in their research! Dentists havn't bothered doing their own "study" to prove this wrong because they already know the answer. This is the same case with creatine, only doctors don't see the point.
