Because the truth is, some of what Oprah promotes isn't good, and a lot of the advice her guests dispense on the show is just bad. The Suzanne Somers episode wasn't an oddball occurrence. This kind of thing happens again and again on Oprah. Some of the many experts who cross her stage offer interesting and useful information (props to you, Dr. Oz). Others gush nonsense. Oprah, who holds up her guests as prophets, can't seem to tell the difference. She has the power to summon the most learned authorities on any subject; who would refuse her? Instead, all too often Oprah winds up putting herself and her trusting audience in the hands of celebrity authors and pop-science artists pitching wonder cures and miracle treatments that are questionable or flat-out wrong, and sometimes dangerous.
I suppose from reading the thyroid part of the article that I gained weight after high school because my father has never let me tell my mother what I really thought of her and it threw my thyroid out of whack .
I was a skinny kid (underweight really) until after I graduated and started working.
It was quite unusual that I watched three days in a row last week. At least two of them had to be re-runs because: 1. Dr. Oz was promoting his show, The Truth About Food (which I have been watching and is very good) and there was nothing I had not already seen there, and 2. The Biggest Loser Tips show had Ali as the current winner (they said she had won it 6 months ago) but there has been 2 other winners since Ali.
I have never seen the show with Suze Orman but seeing as how this is summer, it was probably a re-run also.This message has been edited. Last edited by: BrenauMom,
