Bernstein answers questions daily on http://www.BernsteinMedical.com/blog .

I consult with many patients each week in our New York and New Jersey facilities who are so distraught about the state of their hair loss that they can barely function. There is so much information available about baldness and its treatment on the internet that it is difficult to tell exactly what is true.
I spend a lot of time just clarifying false or partially correct ideas.
This misinformation just serves to exacerbate the problem. Dr. Bernstein says This Blog is an outgrowth of these consultations. Everyday I post answers to the questions that patients bring to my office or submit via our web site.Every question is answered by Dr. Bernstein in a concise, but easy to understand way.

The hidden connection between fast food and obesity
Is there a connection between Fast food and obesity?The answer to the above question is a big yes! Research scientists say that "fast foods increase the risk of obesity in regular consumers by encouraging intentional overeating." Fast food and obesity are closely linked. Studies have shown that fast foods are very high in energy density (the amount of calories different foods contain weight for weight) and these high density foods can cause people to accidentally eat more calories than they need. A typical fast food meal has an energy density 150% more than an average traditional meal. A fast food meal contains many more calories than a similar-sized portion of a healthy meal. Many supermarket ready-meals and convenience foods are also very energy dense.

Gastric Bypass Surgery - Just The Facts
Gastric Bypass surgery is becoming increasingly more popular for the morbid obese. In order to qualify for the surgery, you must have a body mass index of more than 40, which usually translates to being 100 or more pounds overweight. Gastric Bypass surgery is a procedure in which the surgeon will create a pouch out of your stomach, divide the stomach and then connect the pouch directly to the intestine, basically "bypassing" the lower stomach. The whole idea is to limit the amount food that the patient can consume and to shorten up the digestive track so that fewer calories can be absorbed by the patients body. Since the person cannot consume as much food, they are not going to consume as many calories and thus force the body to use stored fat.As with any surgery, there are certain risks associated with the gastric bypass procedure and they include the following: bleeding, infections, further surgeries to correct complications, gallstones from such a drastic weight loss in a short amount...
