Why does everyone keep calling DNP a "drug?" Just because you swallow it and it causes changes in your body does not mean it is a "drug." If you swallow paint thinner, it will cause your body to react, but it is not a "drug."
Dinitrophenol is an industrial chemical, NOT A DRUG.
If you're going to take it, be responsible (or as responsible as someone can be when swallowing industrial chemicals for weight loss). It's your choice, but don't put DNP in a class with just any other dangerous drug when it's not a drug at all.
No disprespect intended to the experienced posters on this board, as some are very authoritative figures, but those same people need to respect the confidence and faith that less experienced board members put in them for accurate information.
Here is some info from the EPA on dinitrophenol. It is called an "hazardous air pollutant," not a "drug."
CAUTION: Unless otherwise noted, the quantitative information on these fact sheets are from "EPA Health Effects Notebook for Hazardous Air Pollutants-Draft", EPA-452/D-95-00, PB95-503579, December 1994." Please conduct a current literature search and check the appropriate current online database for the most recent quantitative information.
2,4-Dinitrophenol is considered to be highly toxic to humans, with a lethal oral dose of 14 to 43 mg/kg.
The acute (short-term) effects of 2,4-dinitrophenol in humans through oral exposure consist of nausea, vomiting, sweating, dizziness, headaches, and loss of weight.
Long-term oral exposure to 2,4-dinitrophenol in humans has resulted in the formation of cataracts and skin lesions and has caused effects on the bone marrow, central nervous system (CNS), and cardiovascular system.
The Reference Dose (RfD) for 2,4-dinitrophenol is 0.002 mg/kg/d.a
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that consumption of this dose or less, over a lifetime, would not likely result in the occurrence of chronic, noncancer effects.b
EPA has determined that there are inadequate data for the establishment of a Reference Concentration (RfC) for 2,4-dinitrophenol.
No information is available on the developmental or reproductive effects of 2,4-dinitrophenol in humans. Animal studies have reported fetal growth inhibition, but no birth defects in the offspring of animals fed 2,4-dinitrophenol.
No information is available on the carcinogenic effects of 2,4-dinitrophenol in humans. The limited animal data have not noted tumor formation in animals fed 2,4-dinitrophenol. EPA has not classified 2,4-dinitrophenol for carcinogenicity.
Inhalation studies are not available for 2,4-dinitrophenol. However, oral studies are available and a risk management decision can be made to assume that the hazards resulting from oral exposure may be indicative of that resulting from inhalation exposure.
I'm not preaching doomsday for DNP users, I'm not even saying not to use it, I'm just saying that it's not a just a superstrong form of a weight loss drug like Meridia or Phenterimine or Clen or T3. It's a chemical, used to make TNT and insecticides. DNP is not and never has been a drug designed for human consumption.
