Default Of Oprah and Snake Oil

Just now, when I should have been doing something useful, I got caught up in reading stuff online. (That never happens to any of you does it?)

And I came across this article from Newsweek. It takes a little while to read it. It's a long one. But I found it interesting. It hits Oprah's effect pretty hard. Not too kind. It covers how she has covered hormones and one-hour facelifts and sending energy out into the universe and all that medical and quasi-medical stuff of which the Oprah Hour is so often made. (I still like to watch her sometimes though.)

Interesting reading I thought. So I am passing it along here in the "Girl Talk" thread, in case any of you are goofing off and reading stuff online when you should be cooking an elaborate supper or making a dress out of the draperies or whatever.
