Whey protein will make me bulky?

False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training.

Whey protein is bad for my health?

False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food.
