Ratings or Research?

Britain's Channel 4 is going to air a show called "Super-Skinny Me: The Race to Size Zero", in an attempt to document the many health risks associated with extreme weight-loss.
"The channel said it hoped the findings would provoke the same type of debate as Morgan Spurlock's documentary film "Super Size Me," which showed the health effects of a month long binge on fast food."
A Channel 4 spokesman says that expert medical attention will be given to the participants to ensure their health is not at risk, but some members of the health and psychiatric community still have reservations about the idea.
