Can MDMA-assisted therapy help treat eating disorders, like anorexia? That’s what a new study, funded by the U.S.-based non-profit Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), is looking to find out.

Though we had our reservations about insta-celeb Kate Upton, we’re liking the curvaceous model more and more these days, especially since she won’t take being called a “lazy, lardy piggie” lying down. As we reported last week, a “pro-thinspiration” (read: pro-ana) site completely bashed the blonde bombshell, saying she was “a solid 30 lbs too […]

Kate Upton’s in-your-face rise to fame may not have had unanimous support, but even the model’s harshest critics have generally credited the girl for having an amazing body.

Amongst her statements, the model mentioned being told—at age 15 no less—to look like she was anorexic without actually developing […]

Word: Drunkorexia

Meaning: A condition—perhaps more of a phenomenon—in which one eats less in order to drink more without exceeding a restrictive calorie count.

Usage: “Drunkorexia doesn’t fit many of the party-hardy stereotypes of campus drinking, for one major reason: the majority of drunkorexics are women.” — Globe and Mail
