Lein, Stefanie. "Types of Eating Disorders." Types of Eating Disorders. N.p., 2013. Web. 08 Nov. 2013.

I realized that not only do I need the genetic part of eating disorders but the information on eating disorders as well.


This article is a credible source for my research because the author is a doctor of pharmacy out of the University of Arizona. The author’s credentials include her bachelor’s degree in physiology, and the fact that she struggled with an eating disorder; Binge Eating. This article was published in 2013. The author’s main goal in this article is to inform the reader about the types of eating disorders that can affect the people around them. The publishing source for this article targets an audience that has close connections with eating disorders. The audience would be interested because of the real knowledge that this author brings to the table and would agree with the information that she provides. The author incorporates testimonial and anecdotal evidence in her article. The author builds credibility with her knowledge of each disorder. The limited aspect of this article comes from the fact that it is all information with no arguing points. I feel as though I need these facts in my essay because it will help readers gain a better understanding of each eating disorder so they can make the decision on whether or not it could relate to genetics. I agree with her information because she has provided a list of eating disorders and described them correctly without misusing any information or names.
