A member asked:

Does supplementing with creatine increase risk of testicular cancer? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The stuff is remarkably safe. There may be a junk science study claiming a correlation. If there is, ignore it. I would know about anything real, and anybody can do a bad study that shows anything causes anything.
