Hi,

There is currently no evidence to suggest that drinking whey protein causes dextrosculiosis. Dextrosculiosis is a mild curvature of the spine to the right side, and it can have various causes, such as poor posture or scoliosis. It is important to consult with a doctor or a qualified healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of any spinal abnormalities or conditions.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
