LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Los Angeles coroners will perform an autopsy on Monday on actress Brittany Murphy as speculation mounted that anorexia may have played a part in her sudden death one day earlier at age 32.

Assistant Coroner Ed Winter said initial reports showed the "Clueless" actress's death may have resulted from heart-related causes but said the autopsy would include toxicology tests.

Fresh blow for topless Swedish bathers
Posted by admin / Under Anorexia (symptom)
"Women will continue to be barred from bathing topless at an indoor pool in the central Swedish town of Enköping following a decision by the town council’s recreation committee on Tuesday. Prior to the decision, committee member Stefan Brandberg cited concerns about the health of young girls in his opposition to the proposed lifting of the ban. “We believe that it can contribute to anorexia—there is a risk for that,” he said to the newspaper Expressen. Monica Hällgren, chair of the Enköping recreation committee, confirmed that one of the central arguments for leaving the ban in place was concern over...

The article was published Saturday in the British Medical Journal in a section usually reserved for unusual cases. It was written by gastroenterologists at Berlin's Charite hospital about two patients with perplexing cases of diarrhea...

Fashion Shows Should Screen for Anorexia
Posted by admin / Under Anorexia (symptom)
LONDON (AP) - A report by the British Fashion Council, organizers of London Fashion Week, has stopped short of recommending a ban on ultra-thin models.

Ultra-thin models were banned from fashion week runways in Madrid, Spain, and Milan, Italy, last year. Organizers in Paris, London and elsewhere have come under pressure to do...
