DNP ?'s- Women, Cataracts, etc...
I've been researching the crap out of DNP on the internet and PubMed but I haven't been able to find a few things... maybe someone can help me? :)
1. I read something anecdotal somewhere saying that DNP makes women sterile. Is there any actual research or proof behind this? Anyone know anything about this? What is the proposed mechanism of ova being destroyed by DNP?
2. What about the huge amount of DNP users in the 1940's and so on... what happened to them? Have any follow-up studies been done on long-term effects? According to this article over 100,000 people did it in the 1940's... I wonder how they are today, especially in regards to cataracts, cancer, etc.
3. That same 1940 article says the cause of cataracts from DNP was never determined, has there been any new research since then? I know on the DNP FAQ's there is always a list of supplements, how were these determined? Which ones are specifically for prevention of cataracts?
5. Phenols are supposed to be carcinogenic, yet there's research on PubMed where DNP is being used in anti-cancer experiments... anyone know anything on the carcinogenic risk of DNP?
4. Anyone know anything about DNOC, or any other uncouplers? I find the topic of uncouplers in general very interesting :)
I have full access to PubMed and all the other databases through my college, so if anyone knows of any useful related abstracts I can pull up the full version.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me with any of these :D
