QUESTIONS:
HI DR. STEVE,
I HEARD THAT IF I ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOW CHEWING GUM, IT WILL STAY IN MY STOMACH FOR 7 YEARS…IS THAT TRUE?


HI DR. STEVE,
I THINK IT’S TIME THAT MY TWEEN DAUGHTER STARTS SHAVING HER LEGS. BUT I’M WORRIED THE NEW HAIR WILL GROW BACK MORE DARK AND COARSE. WILL IT?


HI DR. STEVE,

THANKSGIVNG ISN’T FAR AWAY AND I’M ALREADY THNKING ABOUT THAT BIG THANKSGIVING MEAL. I’VE BEEN TOLD THAT TURKEY HAS A SPECIAL CHEMICAL IN IT THAT MAKES ME SLEEPY AFTER THE MEAL. IF I WANT TO FEEL MORE AWAKE, SHOULD I EAT LESS TURKEY?

HI DR. STEVE,
I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO WEAR A HAT IN THE COLD WEATHER BECAUSE I ONCE LEARNED THAT WE LOSE 90% OF OUR BODY HEAT THROUGH OUR HEADS. BUT MY FRIEND RECENTLY TOLD ME THAT WAS A MYTH. WHAT’S THE DEAL ON THAT?


HI DR. STEVE,
I HEARD THAT EVERYONE SHOULD DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. I LOVE WATER, BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT. BUT IF IT’S GOOD FOR ME I’LL DO IT…SHOULD I?


HI DR. STEVE,

I LIKE DRINKING SPORTS DRINKS WHEN I WORK OUT TO MAKE SURE MY VITAMINS AND MINERALS ARE ADEQUATELY REPLENISHED, BUT MY TRAINING BUDDY SAYS THOSE DRINKS ARE OVERKILL AND ALL I NEED IS REGULAR WATER. IS HE RIGHT?


HI DR. STEVE,

I ALWAYS GET WORRIED WHEN I NOTICE THAT MY URINE IS DARK YELLOW. I’M AFRAID THAT MEANS I’M DEHYDRATED. IS THAT WHAT DARK YELLOW URINE MEANS?


HI DR. STEVE,
I HEARD THAT BOTTLED WATER CAUSES TOOTH DECAY, SO I STAY AWAY FROM IT. AM I MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION?

HI DR. STEVE,
EVERY HALLOWEEN I WORRY ABOUT MY KIDS’ TEETH BECAUSE OF ALL THE CANDY THEY EAT. I DON’T WANT THEM TO GET ANY CAVITIES, SO I’M THINKING OF PUTTING A STRICT LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF POST-HALLOWEEN CANDY THEY CAN HAVE. THAT’S A GOOD IDEA, RIGHT?

HI DR. STEVE,
RIGHT AFTER MY KIDS EAT SWEETS, THEY GET A HYPER-ACTIVE SUGAR RUSH. AND THEN THEY HAVE AN EMOTIONAL BREAK-DOWN DURING THE SUGAR CRASH AFTER THAT. IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THESE MOOD SWINGS, SHOULD I SEVERELY LIMIT HOW MUCH SWEETS THEY EAT?

HI DR. STEVE,
I LOVE EATING CANDY, BUT EVERY HALLOWEEN I WORRY ABOUT EATING TOO MUCH BECAUSE I THINK IT’LL GIVE ME DIABETES. SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT?
