You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: are there any downsides to dry scooping creatine
Assistant: Dry scooping creatine refers to the practice of consuming powdered creatine without mixing it with water or another liquid. While some may find it convenient, there are several potential downsides to consider:

1. **Choking Hazard**: Without water, the risk of choking increases since the powder can clump and become difficult to swallow.

2. **Digestive Issues**: Taking creatine dry may lead to gastrointestinal distress, such as bloating, cramping, or diarrhea, especially if taken in large amounts.

3. **Reduced Effectiveness**: Mixing creatine with water may enhance its solubility, potentially improving absorption and effectiveness.

4. **Hydration Concerns**: Creatine works best when the body is properly hydrated. Consuming it dry may lead to dehydration.

5. **Taste and Enjoyment**: Many find the taste of creatine unpleasant, and taking it dry may not be as enjoyable as mixing it in a shake or smoothie.

It's generally recommended to mix creatine with water or a beverage to mitigate these downsides. If you have specific concerns or health considerations, it may be best to consult a healthcare professional before using creatine supplements.
