Hair Can Help Doctors Diagnose Eating Disorders
A person's hair can help doctors diagnose eating disorders, according to a study in the journal Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. The hair strands can reveal evidence of the person's diet.
The researchers found there were differences in carbon and nitrogen in the strands of women at an eating disorder clinic versus women who did not have a disorder. They were able to determine which group from the strands 80 percent of the time.
That's a B average. Should you have to be like almost 100% in order to be able to use something like that? I mean how screwed up would that be if you were one of those in the 20% when they were wrong?
