sky.com: Concerns Over Boom In Pro-Anorexia Websites

Urgent action is needed to tackle dangerous websites which encourage young girls to starve themselves, a group of top psychiatrists has warned. The experts say the popularity of pro-anorexia sites has been buoyed by blogs and social networking groups.

They also share crash dieting techniques and recipes and post photos of dramatic weight loss.
