Muscle-building supplements may put young adults at risk for body image disorder: Study

A Canadian study has linked the use of multiple muscle-building supplements, like whey protein and creatine, to muscle dysmorphia, a type of Body Dysmorphic Disorder that typically affects males. People having this condition become fixated on appearing more muscular or lean, even if they already have a well-developed physique. The study evaluated 2,700 participants between ages of 16 and 30.
