momto2pandas Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just curious - I remember, back in my days of research in psychiatry, this clustering of anorexia nervosa/anxiety disorder/autoimmune cases in families with Mediterranean background, e.g. Italian, Jewish, Greek, Armenian, etc. I know it's hard to get a read from a forum like this, but just curious if there is a lot of Mediterranean blood in this group. We're Italian and Armenian, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it on Buster's side? (I hope I am not being too nosey) Nope, mine. Unfortunately our kids don't look asian (they are 1/4)....vs. other kids (like Jon and Kate plus eight's kids) who are 1/4 asian (korean) but those kids look closer to 1/2 asian to me.
