[ReaperX]

this is so awesome!

[Lanbane]

I wonder if this will expand to other Cinnamon type extract products...........

[ReaperX]

I'm sure a lot of companies just mix crap in a dirty basement, then send it out to a packaging place.

If legal supps like this crap are tainted, I can't imagine what is in some of those 'prohormones' that you guys are using that were manuf. in China.

If not the NO Explode, then could this be the fall of BSN? Lol this stuff is priceless!

[ReaperX]

Not so much BSN, but this concerns me that BSN with such a big name is pulling stuff like this, what other companies and what is 'really' in them makes me hesitant.

The NO-XPLODE was just neglected ingredients.

This prescription crap is a bit more serious.

I don't know what to believe anymore. People will say and believe anything nowadays, especially on the Internet.

I'm gonna research this Coumarin.

[CHAPS]

Check it out on wikipedia, it's a toxin that will effect the liver and kidneys and is a potent rat poison! WTF!?

[edit]

for all of you that want to know:
"Coumarin toxicity
Coumarin is often found in tobacco products and artificial vanilla substitutes, though it has been banned as a food additive in numerous countries since the mid-20th century because it is moderately toxic to the liver and kidneys, with an LD50 of 275 mg/kg - low compared to related compounds. Although only somewhat dangerous to humans, coumarin is a potent rodenticide: rats and other rodents largely metabolize it to 3,4-coumarin epoxide, a toxic compound that can cause internal hemorrhage and death. Humans largely metabolize it to 7-hydroxycoumarin, a compound of lower toxicity.

Coumarin was banned as a food additive in the United States in 1978. OSHA considers this compound to be only a lung-specific carcinogen, and "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans" [1]. Coumarin was banned as an adulterant in cigarettes by tobacco companies in 1997, but due to the lack of reporting requirements to the US Department of Health and Human Services it was still being used as a flavoring additive in pipe tobacco.[citation needed] Coumarin is currently listed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) among "Substances Generally Prohibited From Direct Addition or Use as Human Food", according to 21 CFR 189.130 [2][3], but some natural additives containing coumarin (such as sweet woodruff) are allowed "in alcoholic beverages only" (21 CFR 172.510 [4]). In Europe, such beverages are very popular, for example Maiwein (white wine with woodruff) and Żubrówka (vodka flavored with bison grass).

European health agencies have warned against consuming high amounts of cassia bark, one of the four species of cinnamon, because of its coumarin content.[1]

Coumarin should be avoided by people with perfume allergy[2]. Flexitral (Chantilly, VA) has developed an allergen replacement product called Coumane(TM), GRAS"
