There are certainly reasons to be concerned about the potential mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of Chromium Picolinate. The UK Food Standards Agency recently called for Chromium Picolinate to be banned from usage as a food supplement, see http://www.foodstandards.gov.uk/news/pressreleases/vitsandminspress
It's a pity because I've heard of people having good responses to it. Chromium polynicotinate and yeast extract chromium ("GTF Chromium") may work just as well - any experience with these?
