DNP and Cancer

[MrRTTB]

A few people say risk getting cancer from DNP is pretty big. True or false? I haven't read anything about someone getting cancer from it. Please respond if you know

 

[WormAAA77]

I highly doubt that's true. To my knowledge, it was made illegal in the 30's due to supposedly causing cataracts in 2% of women. The national average for cataracts in women is 7% so I'd assume if it caused cancer they would use that as the reasoning behind it's legality, or lack thereof, instead of the cataract excuse.

But in the 30's they didn't even know that tobacco caused cancer.

But in the 30's they didn't even know that tobacco caused cancer.

I don't think they even knew what cancer was in the thirties

I havent used DNP.........i think it causes cataracts.

There is or use to be a website devoted simply to DNP.

It discussed the history of the product, originating in the 30’s as a diet drug and being withdrawn from the market by the FDA. Subsequently it is available for research and industrial purposes.

The link to cancer (I believe) was the reason the FDA with drew the product.

Science has improved in the last 70 years and don’t think short dose’s of DNP will cause cancer.

When we got our first TV (1955) no one would get too close because we thought we might get cancer or something worst.

PS I have used DNP


I causes exterme fat lost.

I meant to say it not I,

can you tell I just woke up and haven't had any coffee?

Dam bro your behind......i already did morning cardio.....

I haven't done DNP yet, but have been doing a lot of research on it. I remember reading that the reason it was pulled from the market was the catarcts thing which turned out to be flase I guess. The cancer thing was becuase DNP has a phenol group on it, hence di-nitro-PHENOL. Normally phenol groups are carcinogens, but in all of the research on DNP it appeared that this was not the case. These are just some things I read.

 

[Rommel]

Phenols in general are reputed to be carcinogenic. Although 2,4-dinitrophenol has never been implicated in a cancer diagnosis, some are nonetheless concerned, and understandably so. In addition to the inherent carcinogenic potential caused by its status as a phenol, production of free radicals and the release of various compounds stored in adipose tissue stores during DNP's rapid oxidation of fat may also potentially be harmful.

 

[decadense]

Free radicals damage dna and activate cancer genes.

Here is a study done by a doc who put folks on dnp and t3 for a year. It would be nice if he did a follow up on subjects health, weight , etc.......

Human weight loss inducing method


Abstract
A human weight reduction method in which 2,4-dinitrophenol and a thyroid hormone preparation are administered to the patient. The dinitrophenol is administered in dosages sufficient to elevate the patient's body temperature, typically 250 mg every other day. The thyroid hormone preparation preferably contains 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine and is administered in dosages sufficient to substantially maintain the patient's serum T3 concentration originally present at treatment onset.

didn't DNP pass the AMES test?

 

[Rommel]

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the EPA have not classified DNP for carcinogenicity. There have been cancer studies in animals 6 months at high exposure levels in mice, no carcinomas.

 

[smokinghawk]

Yes, DNP is Ames-negative, meaning it not tumor-promoting. Its carcinogenic possibilities are not substantiated nor refuted by any studies whatsoever, so it's impossible to say either "yes it is" or "no it's not."

What we DO know about it is that it has never been implicated as a cause of cancer in a real-life situation, and that it has no toxic effects on the liver, kidneys, or cardiovascular systems--despite what the FDA has said.

Absofuckinloutly hawk.
DNP passed the AMES test (cant remember the site i saw it on). Does not cause cancer. Most other phenols do however cause malignant tumors, but DNP wont.
