Some eating disorders may be related to autoimmune processes

November 10th, 2005

There are a wide range of theories and opinions on the causes of eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia are usually categorized as psychological and behavioral disorders, and are typically treated through a combination of psychotherapy and nutrition counseling.

This CNN article describes some research indicating a possible link between eating disorders and human autoimmune functions.

Some researchers decided to study that very issue. They actually looked at 57 women who had eating disorders, and they decided to actually measure their blood. Specifically for some sort of autoimmune process antibodies that actually attack your body’s own native cells to find out if, in fact, there are a lot of antibodies in the blood of these women that might influence the way that they regulate how much they eat, regulate their metabolism.

And in a majority of women, over 80 percent, they found that, in fact, that was just the case, that there were these antibodies that actually go to the brain and affect how much someone wants to eat, how much someone wants to signal their body that they need food, things like that. …[It’s] the first time something like that had really been studied, although there had been this notion for a long time that there was this connection, literally this connection between the mind and the brain and the body in terms of these eating disorders.

    In case you are suspicious about why the site offers lowered product prices in comparison with its competitors, it’s mainly because they cannot invest thousands of dollars trueprotein.com each year on advertising and other promotional campaign. Instead, they invest that on developing top quality items that customers will appreciate and depend upon the word-of-mouth marketing to bring in more customers.
