as a doctor who does medical research, I have read many good studies on the risks associated with creatine monohydrate supplementation. However, the evidence that you cite is not the best or most compelling.
1. "case of a 30-year-old Caucasian man" - a one person study is useless in research circles
2. "Previous anecdotal reports" - opinion not evidence
3. "scientific data available on highly trained athletes " - a very skewed sample, hardly indicative of the norm
4. "cancer risk related to abuse of this substance" - there are medical risks if you abuse almost any substance - what happens if it is consumed with controlled doses?
I would suggest you find better studies - there are many!
