Brendon is a college junior who has been working out and has become interested in supplementing his diet for enhanced strength and muscle mass gains. His friends tell him about several weight-gainer supplements. One of the supplements is called "Muscle Mass Magic" and has been heavily advertized on internet sites and in some popular fitness magazines. The product has also been endorsed by a
professional wrestler and professional football player. Brendon is interested in trying the product and makes a trip to his local dietary supplement store. After talking with a store employee, who calls himself a nutritionist, Brandon decides the Muscle Mass Magic is the perfect product to help him reach his fitness goals. After returning home and examining the products label further, Brandon realizes that there are several ingredients in the supplement that he is uncertain of.

C) There is no research to prove that body mass gains will increase 25%.
