Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.
Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.
This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.

@laurenharris.bsky.social presented an incredible meta-analysis of 600+ studies of predictors of ED onset, maintenance, and recovery. Even "strong" Single predictors were weakly related to outcomes.
