INFO ON DNP...

Whenever one studies prostaglandins, one hears about DNP a lot. DNP causes prostaglandin leaks. PGE2 release in particular is severely increased as a result of the addition of DNP. At first, scientists speculated that it was because of the PGE2 elevation that cell damages appeared (the catabolic theory of PGE2). The mere addition of aspirin proved this theory wrong. Whenever aspirin is administered along with DNP, PGE2 release was inhibited yet, cellular damage remained. Therefore, PGE2 release is the consequence and not the cause of the cellular damage. All this to say that DNP will cause muscle damage a bit like training does. But unlike a workout-induced damage, it is not localized to a single muscle group but is rather spread all over. Of course, the body will try to stop or minimize the wasting process that DNP is trying to trigger. Your body will try to calm down the main catabolic pathways DNP puts into play. Once DNP is discontinued, the rate of protein degradation in the muscle will be restricted a a bare minimum while the long-lasting prostaglandin leaks will keep on going. The end result is that the rate of synthesis is boosted while the catabolic pathways are slowed. We are then placed in the most favorable situation possible to build muscles fast.

"Not only has not a single test found it to be carcinogenic, but test after test after test find that DNP actually attacks cancer cells, and helps anti-cancer medications work better, and helps anti-leukemia medications work without destroying cell DNA, and suppresses tumor growth by 20-50%. The summaries are all right here:
DNP is Ames negative, and does not promote tumors. See for yourself at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/hlthef/dinitrop.html reports on health risks. While there have not been human studies, animal studies found no cancers caused by DNP administration. It is considered a toxin because it causes nausea, sweating, and weight loss.
