Creatine's Effect on the Heart and Sweet Whey Protein
DOES CREATINE
DAMAGE YOUR
HEART?
Q:Someone who is a medical professional, but not a doctor, told me recently that he advised against creatine use because it could cause micro-tears in the heart muscle and create cardiac issues – even heart attack – if it’s used at all. That has me worried. True or not?
A:I’d like to see the studies that actually outline that finding. This is the kind of thing that people perpetuate irresponsibly, because they are ignorant and don’t know. A little knowledge is dangerous. I’ll bet it was your nutritionist and he’s a strictly “by the book” guy with no practical experience. The heart is a muscle and the mechanisms of creatine,, and how it works, expanding muscle tissue via expansion of cell volume, via fluid. So technically speaking, it could happen, since micro-tears in muscles can happen. But remember that the heart is a different kind of muscle than skeletal muscle. I shouldn’t cite studies I can’t go back and find, but I am sure I have read that there have been studies where cardiac-protection is the end result of sensible creatine, use. Also, the prevention of Type II Diabetes.
SUPER CLEAN SWEETNER WANTED FOR WHEY PROTEIN
Q:Can you guys recommend a sweetner free whey powder to me? It needs to contain no Aspartame, Sucralose, Acesulfame K etc.. I am having a hard time finding something without false sweeteners in them. I’m a recovering Aspartame addict, after having had up to 4 liters of soda daily!
A:Wow! I’m impressed by your conspicuous consumption of pop! We couldn’t put that much away if I tried! I also didn’t know that there is another AA program, called Aspartame Anonymous. Are you truly a recovering aspartame addict or a caffeine addict? All that caffeine in soda can really give you massive headaches if you are ingesting that much. I know that for a long time people had all of these horror stories about Nutrasweet, but so far they haven’t found evidence of anything being wrong with it. But rather than debate that with you, I’ll say that the cheapest form of whey protein, that is unadulterated by any additive or sweetener, is pure whey that you can buy in bulk from wholesalers. So if you’re happy to be drinking whey that is unflavored, it’s pretty cheap to get and there are plenty of suppliers from which to choose. By the by, most protein powders aren’t using aspartame, but are using the other two you mention. I didn’t know there was anything nasty about these two ingredients. Are they in question? Well anyhow, start there. You have a right to put anything into your body, or keep anything out, you so choose. I just hope you aren’t finding it difficult to justify taking massive doses of AAS at the same time!
