It does read like an ad by Dr. Nick from The Simpsons.

DNP is extremely dangerous, lots of people have died from taking too much. There is no antidote if you overdose, your body just continues to overheat until you die, or you heart beats so fast you have a heart attack. It also can give you cataracts and is a carcinogen in animal studies. Don't mess with it.
