 Shedding Light on Eating Disorder Myths
Most high-interest topics in the news have a set of myths thatcontinue to confuse the public. Eating disorders are not immune tothis trend, especially since many famous faces often are found tobe anorexic or bulimic.Myths surrounding eating disorders are numerous, but the factsquickly dispel them.
A typical myth is that females attending college are a very low risk groupfor eating disorders, because their education protects them from fallingvictim. An estimated 5 to 20% of college women are inflicted with aneating disorder.This makes them a very high risk group. This is due to the high-pressuresituations found in college.Education does not protect graduates either. Many women affected are of high socioeconomic class. The ability to handle successful careers,beautiful physical appearance, or high education has been shown not toprotect against an eating disorder.Another common myth is that only females can fall victim to eatingdisorders.
