Abstract
- 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is unlicensed for human consumption owing to its severe toxicity.
- Despite health warnings, DNP is still promoted and used among dieters and bodybuilders.
- Desired weight loss and past experience with similar drugs influence the level of risk people are willing to take with DNP.
- Personality traits, risk propensity and self-esteem do not have an influence on DNP-specific risk willingness.
