,

Are you referring to eating disorders by your remarks? If so, I would

tend to agree. Many of my raw vegan friends suffer from eating

disorders. Some find the diet helps for a time, but inevitably,

symptoms of binge/purge reemerge. For me, eliminating grains, sugar and

starches has really leveled out my hunger levels, eating patterns, etc.

Of course, I don't think I ever had a full blown disorder either, so

maybe I haven't a clue.
