DESCRIPTION: Bariatric weight-loss surgery (like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) is increasingly performed in children as young as five years old.

The childhood obesity epidemic is so tragic. It pains me to see insult piled on injury. Too often medical treatments can be worse than the disease. See my video Why Prevention is Worth a Ton of Cure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-prevention-is-worth-a-ton-of-cure/).

Speaking of prevention—what might be the best diet for our young ones? See:

There are complications associated with gastric bypass in adults too. See my video The Dangers of Broccoli? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-dangers-of-broccoli/)
