Over the past few few weeks I have noticed that people seem to be confused about their Dr. Bernsteins. But have no fear... I am here to help you out.
Most Canadians have probably heard of "Dr. Bernstein's Diet Clinics". A few Canadians may have heard of a book titled "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution".
They are not the same person, but do share the same middle initial as well as the same last name. Let's begin with Dr. Stanley K. Bernstein of "Bernstein Diet Clinic" fame.

Dr. Bernstein's Diet Clinics are:
- the brainchild of Stanley K. Bernstein of Toronto, ON - who was born in 1951
- a chain of diet clinics operating in Canada,
- reviewers and former staffers describe them as "expensive, very low calorie diets, requiring clients to attend the clinic up to 3 times a week to receive injections of B vitamins.",
- Dr. STANLEY K. Bernstein appears to have had some run-in's with 'John Q. Law' of a pretty serious nature. You can Google around for that info yourself.
And now for the other, totally unrelated Dr. Bernstein...

Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution is:
- a best selling book, and a simple nutrition plan for T1 and T2 diabetics to be used with or without insulin or meds,
- was authored by RICHARD K. Bernstein, who was born in NYC in 1934. See? Not the same guy at all...
- he is an engineer, physician and lifetime T1 diabetic
- his work is probably the BEST advice available for both T1 and T2 diabetics, and should be front and centre in the reference library of all diabetics and of ANYONE who counsels them on matters of nutrition.
- as an aside, Dr. RICHARD K. Bernstein is still working at age 80, and still offers free tele seminars and workshops. Incredible.
So, as you can see - there is a world of difference between these two men, what they do and how they do it. Now you now the difference.
You're welcome.
