LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- No matter what the question, no one can stump Dr. T. Glenn Pait with UAMS. He's cracking open up his medical mailbag to answer your questions.

These are the questions he covered:

-I understand antioxidants are important. I learned of a special antioxidant examination that can measure your levels of antioxidants. I'm very health-conscious. Should I get this test?

-I'm a woman almost 60 years old. I have little bit of facial hair. I remove the hair by waxing or plucking. Soon afterward I develop acne. I know it's from my treatments, but I'm not going around with facial hair. Why do I get acne and what can I do about it?

 
-I'm 20 years old and am the shortest female in my family. My sisters, my mother, my cousins are all taller than I. I'm only 5'2". Can I use growth hormone and is it safe? Do you think I still have some growing left to do since I'm shorter than the others?

-Is it true, if you eat more fiber you can lose weight?
