3. i wonder...could diets and/or eating disorders also be a biological stressor

that would rise to the level of altering us molecularly. i wonder this b/c it seems like starvation would be a primary biological signal that living systems would attempt to protect against.

is it possible that dieting could be making us fatter, in other words.

and if so...could this not be the ultimate rationalization for not dieting (that you wouldn't want to pass weight issues down to your progeny).
