TwinWatch News: Twins in anorexia research study; twin hockey stars; triplet gardeners

Research using twins and other multiples contributes much to the understanding of human behavior. (You can read my interview with a University of Southern California twin researcher here on BeTwinned.com.) This news story gives an example of a pair of twins who are participating in a National Institutes of Health study about eating disorders and genetics. Both twins suffer from anorexia.

I read stories all the time about twins and triplets excelling in athletics. Here’s one about 26-year-old twin hockey-playing brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin. They play for the Vancouver Canucks.

I absolutely love this story about gardening triplets. At the end of the article, the triplets’ mother gives a series of tips about getting kids interested in gardening.
