wrong forum DG.

I think it goes hand in hand with anything the FDA can not regulate or tax they are going to do their best to find a way to say it's bad for you.

I dunno - from what I read it seems to have alot of backing ...for me HD is a big issue - so I think Ill put the Lcar away for awhile...

Can you link me to the study that convinced you?

another paid off study by the FDA..

Whether it's paid off or not (probably is), doesn't affect me. I have never found L-Carnitine worth the overpriced dollar label that's slapped on to it. I've used it before and found no benefits at all from it, in terms of fat loss or otherwise. I used it once for a couple of months, not any more.

Not to mention it inhibits and destroys the activity of T3 at the cellular level when you take it (L-Carnitine inhibits both triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) entry into the cell nuclei). I discovered this the hard way (see this thread here http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-l...l#.UWaUC6PD-70). Keep this in mind if you are using T3 and L-Carnitine simultaneously. It is for this reason that L-Carnitine is used in medicine as a hyperthyroidism treatment.

Austin there was a special here on the news - and then I just googled a few things by Columbia. By the way FDA hasnt said to stop ussing it - so I dont see how anyone paid anyone off. This was a study started by columbia U in NY.

I remember years ago it was hot dogs, eggs and some others. I pay no attention to these studies. But what you speak of, i have had no relevant difference from using as to when i don't. I put it up there w/all those silly supplements i used when i was younger believing the hype. Save your money and worries.

Just my thoughts.

**DigitalGorilla** · 04-17-2013, 10:10 PM

Well - hot dogs are bad for you - they have linked that to alot of shit. But for me - I always felt red meat had some bad stuff in it - due to stuff I know from my own health and family health. and I love anything Columbia does - because they were the ones that PROVED marijuana slowed cancer cells, ever after being threatened to lose their grants. I feel they are unbiased - or at least less biased then most! Oh and my gf is a research ass there so I guess Im baias

**DigitalGorilla** · 04-17-2013, 10:11 PM

And yes i agree - when I took Lcar- never felt any difference at all

There ya go.

And don't go bashing hot dogs!! They are a serious reason i pack on weight.

Especially Chili dogs!

**DigitalGorilla** · 04-17-2013, 10:16 PM

lol haha --- I love em too but I havent had any pork in about 4 years.....and im about 5 months since Ive had red meat...
too worried about cancer and shit...

**stpete** · 04-17-2013, 10:22 PM

I would worry about cancer if i smoked. But good for you man. I'd rather die eating my foods than be without them. Then again, that's just me. I know i do a pretty good job of working the bs out of my system. And you probably do too.

**austinite** · 04-17-2013, 10:24 PM

i love hot dogs. Mustard and sauerkraut!

Awe......one of those huge Hebrew National hot dogs with mustard. Man that's the shiznit. Deffinatly a cheat meal.

**DigitalGorilla** · 04-17-2013, 11:11 PM

If i had to - I would do one with saurkraut and one with chilli and cheese! lol

And yea I mean I know I worry alot more than needed - but my parents and grandparents were all healthy - meaning no smoking not living on junk food - low bf - and still they all died young

**DigitalGorilla** · 04-17-2013, 11:15 PM

I basically have given up all foods that I love lol.....which sucks, but im happy to be healthy. I wish I could eat like some of you do....but for me its chicken and eggs whites everyday ......going on 3 years now. I mean I stray here and there but 6 days a week thats it!
