Don ’t Fall for the Marketing. ‘Toddler Milk’ Is Not Good for Your Child
All parents want the best for their children, so they could be forgiven for thinking that infant nutrition brands prioritize the same. But then there’s toddler formula.
Toddler formulas, or toddler milks, are beverages often sold in the same product lines as infant formulas, framed as a sort of natural nutritional continuation for the 9-to-12-month-old being weaned off traditional infant formula or breast milk. Unlike infant formulas, however, toddler milk is unregulated in the U.S., and as a result is not required to meet the same nutritional standards. For years, it’s been an open secret among pediat...

Sugar Alternatives Can Be Just As Bad For Your Health
My South Florida practice sees a lot of diabetic patients. And I always feel honored that they have chosen to put their health in my care…
But I’m shocked when these patients tell me that their previous doctor or nutritionist recommended that they switch to zero-calorie soft drinks, no-sugar energy bars, and sugar-free yogurts as a “healthy” diabetic alternative.
Please don’t get me wrong…
I’m not suggesting that foods packed with high fructose corn syrup – the main sweetening ingredient used in thousands of products – are any better.
I’ve written to you before about the dangerous effects of cor...

The 5-Steps to Relieve Tinnitus
My patient T.K. was a wreck. He looked like he hadn’t slept in a week. I asked him what was going on.
“It’s nothing you can fix, doc,” he said. “I’ve been to three specialists, and they all told me the same thing…
“I’ve got tinnitus, and I just have to live with it.”
Luckily, I was able to help him.
Tinnitus is an aggravating, nerve-racking, and unseen condition.
The constant ringing in your ears robs you of sleep, makes you miserable as it drowns out your hearing, and, over time, makes you more prone to illness. Tinnitus also shatters your focus and concentration.
Sadly, up to 25% of the U.S. populatio...
