Good article, 10 benefits of creatine with accompanying studies/graphs. A few things on the list you might not expect:

Two I found interesting;
- can DOUBLE muscle mass compared to training alone
- slows the progression of Parkinsons

Wait, that's not what that says. The linked study did find creatine to increase both strength and lean mass (which is body weight minus body fat - to include water), but not by double. The effect size is measured by percent increase, not absolute strength or mass.

I think this is what the writer is referring to:

increases in body mass and fat-free mass were greater in creatine (6.3% and 6.3%, respectively) than placebo (3.6% and 3.1%, respectively) subjects
