Either he doesn't know enough about them to be concerned, or he hopes that saying it's "gross" will be enough to stop you from doing it -- which just shows that he's pretty clueless about EDs.
Unfortunately, we here on this board are not so clueless, so do take advantage of our hard-won expertise.

I wish you the best of luck, Deneb, and hope that you do stop before it becomes more of a problem.
Good luck.
