NOVA website "dying to be thin"

  • http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/thin/program.html

    A nova program all about eating disorders is available for online viewing ---broken into 8 different segments lasting approximately 4-8 minutes each.

    Lots of interesting information, imo. Some of the things I found to be very interesting---the effects of gastric emptying rates in persons with bulimia nervosa and an anorectic ballet dancer who had a fear of dietary fats and was amazed to discover that adding healthy fats to her diet made her much healthier, made her feel better and actually resulted in a 5lb weight loss in 2 weeks! I've only watched 2 of the segments so far but wanted to share the link if anyone else is interested!
