[QUOTE="croaker24, post: 22238, member: 900"] Don't shoot the messenger. I just happened to come on this. I don't get the sense that the majority of guys on this Forum are trying to achieve some idealized perfect body as they are using supplements to achieve better health due to various problems; for example, I take citrulline to try and improve my vascularity and blood pressure. [URL]http://www.cbsnews.com/news/excessive-fitness-supplement-eating-disorder-for-men/[/URL] "[I]Twenty-nine percent of the men surveyed said they were concerned about their own use of APEDs. Twenty-two percent said they have used the supplements to replace meals. And more than 40 percent said their use had increased over time. In the most extreme cases, 8 percent said they'd been told by their doctor to cut back on supplement use and 3 percent had been hospitalized for kidney or liver problems linked to their excessive use of the supplements. "Legal APEDs -- which purport to foster the lean/muscular, mesomorphic body type most prevalent in our socio cultural climate -- have become a primary means by which men seek to alter their bodies," the study notes.: [/I] [/QUOTE]
