"The survey by the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program is the first ever attempt to measure rates of bulimia nervosa in children aged five to 18," reported the Harbor City Star.

In Toronto, hospital researchers have been surprised to find symptoms of bulimia in children younger than 12, an age which was previously believed to be the limit for how early eating disorders can develop.
