The Hidden Costs of Bariatric Surgery
Weight regain after bariatric surgery can have devastating psychological effects. How Sustainable Is the Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery? I explore that issue in my video of the same name. Most gastric bypass patients end up regaining some of the fat they lose by the third year after surgery, but after seven years, 75% of patients followed at 10 U.S. hospitals maintained at least a 20% weight loss. The typical trajectory for someone who starts out obese at 285 pounds,


Bariatric Weight-Loss Surgery and Mortality
Today, death rates after weight-loss surgery are considered to be “very low,” occurring in perhaps 1 in 300 to 1 in 500 patients on average. The treatment of obesity has long been stained by the snake-oil swindling of profiteers, hustlers, and quacks. Even the modern field of bariatric medicine (derived from the Greek word baros , meaning “weight”) is pervaded by an “insidious image of sleaze.” Beguiled by advertising for fairy tale magic bullets of rapid, effortless weight


Bariatric Surgery: Risks in the OR and Beyond
The extent of risk from bariatric weight-loss surgery may depend on the skill of the surgeon. After sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the third most common bariatric procedure is a revision to fix a previous bariatric procedure, as you can see below and at 0:16 in my video The Complications of Bariatric Weight-Loss Surgery . Up to 25% of bariatric patients have to go back into the operating room for problems caused by their first bariatric surgery. Reoperatio


Is Grapefruit Dangerous With Statins? What Doctors Want You To Know Before You Peel
See which statins interact with the fruit—and when it’s safe to keep it on your plate People who take statin drugs are doing it for a life-saving reason: to treat high cholesterol and protect their hearts. Many of those same people also reach for grapefruit, a food long associated with heart health. But when it comes to grapefruit and statins, the two do not always play well with one another. “Grapefruit has lots of health benefits,” says Vanita Rahman, MD, an internal medic


Statins and Type 2 Diabetes Risk
By: Cat Ebeling, BSN, co-author of the best-sellers: The Fat Burning Kitchen , The Top 101 Foods that Fight Aging & The Diabetes Fix If you have type 2 diabetes and you take a statin drug , you might start noticing a phrase that’s ridiculously overused… “The benefits outweigh the risks.” Has your doctor ever said that to you? There are plenty of risks and they’re all serious health issues. Actually the risks FAR outweigh the benefits. ESPECIALLY if you already have type 2


Is Surgery Necessary to Reverse Diabetes?
Losing weight without rearranging your gastrointestinal anatomy carries advantages beyond just the lack of surgical risk. The surgical community objects to the characterization of bariatric surgery as internal jaw wiring and cutting into healthy organs just to discipline people’s behavior. They’ve even renamed it “metabolic surgery,” suggesting the anatomical rearrangements cause changes in digestive hormones that offer unique physiological benefits. As evidence, they point


FOOD AS INFORMATION: Living Water, Epigenetic Pathways, and the Wisdom of the Ancestral Diet
Food delivers powerful healing properties that scientists have spent decades analyzing in detail. Take an apple , for example. This amazing fruit is brimming with pharmacologically (or better yet, nutrigenomically) active compounds, most notably ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C . Another compound it contains is phlorizin, over a dozen polyphenols, potent antioxidants concentrated in the skin of the apple and known to elicit multitargeted effects that reduce the impact o


EPA’s Toxic Proposal: Formaldehyde Limits Almost Double
Tell the EPA: Stop Toxic Exposure – Ban Formaldehyde The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to nearly double the amount of formaldehyde it considers safe to inhale by adopting a new exposure threshold. That new car smell? It’s actually the off-gassing of toxins, primarily formaldehyde. Formaldehyde isn’t just in car interiors. It’s used as a preservative and adhesive in just about every consumer product you can think of, from furniture, flooring, and carpets,
