The concentrations of carcinogenic compounds (heterocyclic amines, acrylamide, and formaldehyde) were extracted from NHANES 2013\u20132014 Laboratory Data database.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The final analysis included 1763 adult respondents, of whom 907 (51.4%) were female. The mean daily creatine intake was 0.83\u2009\u00b1\u20090.77 grams (95% CI, from 0.80 to 0.87). Regression analysis revealed no significant relationship between daily creatine intake and most carcinogenic biomarkers, except for a significant correlation (Model 1) between creatine intake and acrylamide levels (\n                    <jats:italic>B\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                    =\u2009\u22123.999, \u00df\u2009=\u2009\u22120.088,\n                    <jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                    =\u20090.05).
