Studies

1. In 1998, there was a study done by the Journal of American College Health that found the media to be a mass marketer of the female body image. It has been proven that it is a strong force in creating the stereotype of the tall and thin women as the "ideal" beauty type. (Rabak-Wagener)
2. University of Minnesota conducted a study on 2500 female teenagers that showed the amount of teens using diet pills has doubled, from 7.5% to 14.2%.
