Is Dinitrophenol safe for weight loss?

Dinitrophenol (DNP) is not safe for weight loss. Andrew Huberman discusses how it was initially discovered during World War II when workers accidentally ingested small amounts, leading to severe weight loss. Despite its use in some niche communities like bodybuilders and models, DNP is extremely dangerous because it can cause fatal hyperthermia (overheating of the body). Many deaths have been attributed to its use for weight loss. It acts by altering the neurons that connect to fat cells, changing the way fat is metabolized, but with high risks involved. Dr. Huberman strongly discourages the use of DNP due to its considerable dangers 1.
