Hi Nancy and everyone,
I found this in my 'nutrition' folder and thought I'd forward it along for

More on Chromium (Picolinate)
"Studies are also showing that Chromium combined with Picolinate can cause
chromosome damage and possibly cause cancer.*, **, *** The picolinate has
been identified as the culprit, not chromium by itself.* If you feel you
are in need of chromium supplementation, make sure it doesn't have
picolinate in it and consult your doctor. "
