Bulimia is also called Binge-Purge Syndrome and comes from the Greek word "boulimos, " meaning "ravenous hunger."
Bulimia is a prevalent and secretive eating disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the US population.
The ratio of men to women with bulimia is 1:10.
In our Western society which places a premium on thinness, sufferers equate their value with their weight, above all else.
Naomi Wolf, in her book "The Beauty Myth" states that eating disorders are the greatest "brain drain" on women, due to their internal turmoil and the time spent in the "relentless pursuit of thinness."
