Here is a study from 1995 indicating Chromium Picolinate could possibly be a carcinogen. I believe this is the study that led to people advising caution over Chromium Picolinate.
The same researchers followed up the study with this study published in 2002
However I have also found a study published this year that negates the findings of the the previous study.
Here is an article from Feb 1996 mentioning the first study.http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0820/is_n221/ai_17911049
Lastly here is more information about toxicity of Chromium Picolinate >

So Chromium Picolinate either is a carcinogen or it isn't, read these studies/articles and make up your own mind :)
