According to a new study, our kids are spending way too much time being carted around in strollers. Researchers fear that such physical inactivity may be a contributing factor to the rising level of childhood obesity.
How much milk should my child drink?
This is one of the most common questions pediatricians get asked. And according to Dr. Jonathon Maguire, a pediatrician and researcher at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, the honest answer is: doctors don't really know, but they are trying to find out.
Obesity is costing Canadians a fortune -- an estimated $1.1 billion annually. While OHIP used to pay some candidates to have bariatric bypass surgery in the United States, in Ontario alone, 9,000 people paid private clinics $18,000 a piece to have an inflatable ring surgically inserted around their stomach to limit their food consumption.
