Lose 7% Body Fat in less than 40 days???

Oh, inneresting that Cr pretty non-toxic, unlike Selenium, iron, even
copper, zinc. In fact, if I read correctly, no toxicity had ever been
reported at the time I read about it.
It doesn't have a "real" RDA (or didn't), which means they aren't quite sure
what it does, but pretty sure it does sumpn.
Probably shouldn't go too far beyond the RDA's "estimated max" of 200 mcg,
over the long term.
Elemental Cr, or Cr+6 (vs dietary Cr, which is Cr+3) is *highly* toxic,
devastating to lung tissue. Chrome-plated lungs??
Go figger.

More important than GTF et al in terms of glucose management, I think, is
weight management, low-glycemic index foods, overall intelligent diet/habits
(eg, small meals), BOUCOU exercise, esp. light exercise (eg, walking) after
meals.
Also just trying to cure ourselves of the American Sweet Tooth is a good
bet. Kids' cereals/soft drinks are the absolute worst. Frosted Flakes in
Kool-Aid??? It happens!

Also, I don't think high fructose is a wise alternative sucrose (even tho
sucrose itself is 50% fructose) because fructose has an anomalous metabolism
in the liver. Very high fructose intakes have been shown to cause liver
abnormalities.
Artificial sweeteners are a big health gamble, imo.

I thank TPTB I was born without a sweet tooth. Nevertheless, i have managed
to gain an unwanted 30 lbs. in the last 6 years.
