Bob Greene is an asset for reminding Oprah, as well as everyone else, that you cannot use a thyroid condition as an excuse for not taking care of your health. I hope he continues to aver that particular idea.

Maybe he could also add to his reminder that you cannot create a thyroid condition and become a thyriod patient when doctors have confirmed that such a thing is not taking place for you. And that trying to get on thyroid medications with the hope that it well help with weight-control is a dangerous fallacy and must be dismissed.
