One dietitian says she's seeing more and more orthorexics in her practice.
"People who have such an obsession or fixation for eating healthy, that they won't touch certain foods, like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, soy, corn or dairy," she said.
Other excluded foods are ones with additives or food that could come into contact with herbicides.
Orthorexics' rigid eating patterns can lead to malnutrition and social isolation.
