HealthDay (3/3, Preidt) reports researchers examined data on media use and binge-eating in children and concluded that “each additional hour that children spent on social media was associated with a 62% higher risk of binge-eating disorder one year later, and each extra hour spent watching or streaming television or movies was linked with a 39% higher risk of binge-eating disorder one year later.” The findings were published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
