I just did a quick search on the forum and didn't get a anwser to thing either.

Maybe I'm just not choosing the right search wording, but I'd also like to know this.

Some say creatine causes water retention and therefore is not good for cutting. It does cause water retention, however that extra water is held in muscle and therefore should not have an effect on cutting.

Just remember to drink extra water if you are taking creatine.

EDIT: There is also a creatine sticky at the top of the forum that should have answers to most of your questions.

Yea this same topic was brought up at least 50 times. I'm just wondering why all of a sudden there is a such a concern with creatine and cutting. Seems alot of rumors and hearsay going around.
