Pursuant to my previous post, I should say that intelligence can play a role in developing an ED however I was referring to the ability to resist it once you already have one. I wasn't very specific I know, I was just venting my feelings. I guess what I wrote doesn't make any sense, and it doesn't even mean what I think it means. I didn't intend to spark debate on the origin of EDs or the role of intelligence in disordered behaviour. It was just rambling.
