new eating disorder - orthorexia

[IMstacie]

I know everyone is trying to eat healthly because of the the Hep C and/or tx.  But, remember, too much of anything is not healthy including health foods.  Orthorexia is a condition involves rigid eating eating which includes not touching sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods -- Is this you, Rocker?

Apparently, this obsession may lead to these folks becoming malnourished.
