Eating Disorders linked with hair
A new test by my very own Brigham Young University found that hair strands can help pinpoint people with eating disorders. Apparently, the protein that pushes hair out and forces growth is a “record of day-by-day nutrition.”

With only five strands of hair, abnormal eating disorders can be detected.

The question that came to mind as I read this article was, ‘how did researchers get those with eating disorders confirm the findings?’ Typically, people with eating disorders are reluctant to claim their abnormal eating patterns.

Thanks for the great comments. For me growing up, eating disorders were never a problem. I always worried, however, for my sisters. Keep up the good work.
