The Encyclopedia of Obesity and Eating Disorders by Dana K. Cassell; David H. Gleaves
ISBN: 0816061971
Publication Date: 2006-05-01
Presently almost two-thirds of American adults are overweight and 31 percent are obese. Eating disorders are now affecting a wider range of the population, particularly with increased diagnoses in men and boys, and the anti-carb craze has swept the country with potentially long-lasting ramifications for health and diet. New research has identified significant cultural and racial factors connected to obesity and eating disorders, and new products, such as "neutriceuticals," have hit the market, contributing to misconceptions and uncertainty about healthy diets.
