The Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA), founded in June of 2008, is an international, multidisciplinary provider and patient organization focusing on the unmet need for preventing, diagnosing, and treating binge eating disorder.
“While several eating disorder advocacy groups exist, none focuses on the binge eating community, which makes up the largest contingent of eating disordered individuals and affects approximately 25 percent of the obese population,” said Chevese Turner, BEDA Chief Executive Officer. “With the obesity epidemic and related health issues, as well as increasing concern about its burdens to society, the workplace, and the health care industry, it’s time to focus on one of the little-known causes of this crisis and work toward finding a solution.”
