La ONG Protégeles, que ha cerrado más de 500 páginas de este tipo, denuncia que una de cada seis niñas las utiliza.
Una de cada seis niñas de 11 a 17 años con acceso a internet entra en páginas web que promueven trastornos alimenticios como la bulimia o la anorexia. Esta estimación, realizada por Guillermo Cánovas, presidente de la ONG «Protégeles», es sólo la punta del iceberg.
Esta ONG creó una web «cebo» (www.anaymia.com) para ver cuántas niñas accedían a ella y el resultado ha sido alarmante. Más de 100.000 menores la consultan cada mes en busca de información de trucos para perder peso. La web relata uno a uno los falsos mitos del adelgazamiento, alerta de los peligros que tienen y ofrece ayuda psicológica a las jóvenes que la soliciten a través de la web «masqueunaimagen.com».
Según Cánovas, esta experiencia demuestra la necesidad de educar a nuestros menores en la importancia de llevar una dieta equilibrada. De los 100.000 menores que visitan la web «cebo», el 95 por ciento son niñas (tres de cada cuatro tienen entre 14 y 16 años) y el 70 por ciento está en una fase of having an initial (start fooling around with the diets and self-induced vomiting).

They increasingly offer more risky methods. One of them, as simple as useless, "a food is eaten first red (tomato) so that when inducing vomiting and see who has taken the product thinking that has driven everything. This technique is useless, because the digestive system does not work that way and tends to mix all the food ", tells Cánovas. Other advise
ask a pet to her parents: "You have to take her to walk first and last hour of the day and you can skip those two meals, induce vomiting without seeing them or give the animal food. "
As laxatives, slimming and medicine are the order of the day among this group of girls, which poses a serious threat to health. Thus, warned that "take laxatives to expel the food, but do not know which act occurred when the process of digestion and absorption are worthless."

In the case of bulimia, an eating often compulsively and secretly. Youth groups most exposed to this type of problems are the dancers, gymnasts, athletes, athletes and models. Therefore, the role of families is crucial: we must assess the children regardless of their weight and avoid negative comments about the possible excesses.
