Any Minorities With Eating Disorders??? Posted: 04-23-05 10:32am
Hi, I know eating disorders usually affect
only caucasian people, but I was wondering
are there minorities such as indians (like
me), asians, any one else with eating
disorders??????
I feel so alone. I would really
appreciate it if anyone else like me is
out there could reply to this. Thanks and
I hope you're all doing ok. We'll survive
guys, life is worth the ride so hang in
there.

Hey hun! I hope you are well. As you
know I am irish but I do know people who
are from africa and turkey and all over
the world really who suffer from eating
disordes. Eating disordes do not choose
the people who suffer from them, it
affects people of all races, colour,
religion, shapes and sizes so your never
alone, believe me.
Take care of yourself and write to me soon
let me know how you are doing k. Oh I am
still looking for the scar stuff.

Hi deathx, thanks for the reply. I got
the statistics from another website. It
is known that the majority, I did not say
all but the majority of people are
caucasian.
This is just the info I got, I don't even
know it if it is right.

Wow, how odd is that?
Hmm wonder why its mostly caucasians?
Maybe its somethingt o do with westerners
and a reflection on the media and the
'perfect' body?

The black has statistically the lower
activity of the lactase so they generally
have the more often the negative side
effects(mainly diarrhoea) on drinking
milk...But thats not the severe disorder.
