L-carnitine is often marketed as a fat burner, but a Mendelian randomization trial indicates that it may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in men. I'm curious what @BioLayne's thoughts are on this. https://t.co/BPxal2VoWI

Genetically predicted L-carnitine was nominally associated with higher risk of CAD overall (OR 1.07 per SD increase in L-carnitine) and in men (OR 1.09) but had a null association in women.https://t.co/5Lurm0EYNj
