An obsession with eating healthily could in fact be bad for your health, scientists warn.

Those who deny themselves entire food groups or worry too much about the 'purity' of their meals are risking their mental and physical wellbeing.

Experts have reported a rise in such extreme behaviour, known as orthorexia nervosa.

Sufferers or orthorexia nervosa tend to be over 30, middle-class and well-educated.

While anorexia patients restrict the quantity of the food they eat, sufferers of orthorexia, named after the Greek for 'right or true', fixate on quality.

The 'rules' vary from person to person, but the drive to eat only the healthiest foods can lead to sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods being eliminated from the diet.

Foods tainted by pesticides or that contain artificial additives such as MSG are often also ditched. One orthorexic is reputed to eat only yellow foods.

While such habits may seem quirky, they can have a serious effect on health.

Cutting out entire food groups can leave sufferers malnourished, while rigid rules can make eating out impossible, putting a huge strain on friendships and relationships.

Ursula Philpot, chairman of the British Dietetic Association's mental health group, said: 'I am definitely seeing significantly more orthorexics than just a few years ago.

'Other eating disorders focus on the quantity of food but orthorexics can be overweight or look normal.

'They are solely concerned with the quality of the food they are putting in their bodies, refining and restricting their diets according to their personal understanding of which foods are truly "pure".'

Sufferers tend to spend hours reading the latest food research, trawling health food stores and planning menus.

Add to this the expense of buying specialist products and it is easy to see why the disorder is most common in the middle-classes.

Deanne Jade, founder of the National Centre for Eating Disorders, told the Observer: 'There is a fine line between people who think they are taking care of themselves by manipulating their diet and those who have orthorexia.

'I see people around me who have no idea they have this disorder. I see it in my practice and I see it in my friends and colleagues.'

She believes the rise of the condition is linked to society's tolerance of food fads and those who promote them, from gym instructors to naturopaths, who prescribe changes in diet to treat illnesses.

'It's everywhere, from people who think it's normal if their friends stop eating entire food groups, to the trainers in the gym who [ promote] certain foods to enhance performance, to the proliferation of nutritionists, dieticians and naturopaths.

'And just look in the bookshops - all the diets that advise eating according to your blood type or metabolic rate.
'This is all grist to the mill to those looking for proof to confirm or encourage their anxieties around food.'

Mary George, of eating disorder charity Beat, said alarm bells should start ringing when a quirk or fad becomes 'all-consuming'.

She added: 'In this day and age, there's so much more attention paid to healthy eating and what we put inside our bodies that it is possibly more likely that this situation may occur.'

So some vital vitamins have been taken off some list and some deadly chemicals put back on it? And this is going to cause the death of 3 billion people? I'm pretty sure atleast 3 billion people right now dont even get any real vitamins or decent nutrition. How is this list going to affect the majority of the population? Or are you saying that this "list" will cause the death of 3 billion "healthy" people who don't live in third world countries and who would otherwise have proper nutrition?
