Pro-Anorexia WebsitesWednesday 17 July 2002
Anorexia Nervosa has one of the highest rates of mortality for any psychiatric condition.

Approximately one in five sufferers die prematurely. It is hard to imagine anyone promoting or encouraging the disorder but a new internet phenomenon is doing just that.
Pro-anorexia web-sites have sprung up on the internet offering tips and encouragement on being an anorexic.
Shannon Bonnette, who runs a US website for eating disorders and Fenella Lamonski, an eating disorder sufferer join Jenni to discuss whether these these pro-anorexia web-sites should be banned.
