OMENTUM URL is to page on Oprah's site which is devoted to the show wherein Dr. Oz says there's an organ inside all of us that plays a key role in making us fat—the omentum. "This organ literally pumps chemicals into your body and it holds the secrets … to los[ing] weight."

  • Hi, NuggetMaven. FYI, we have a one-post-per-day guideline.
  • Welcome NuggetMaven. Fwiw- I noticed monkeyflitter posted twice on the 12th of this month, and when I consulted the FAQs I saw this: "We ask that you post one good, interesting and discussion-worthy post per day. If you think you have more than one, so be it." Is that new?
  • This is one thing that definitely can get me sick to my omentum.
  • Oops! Didn't realize a one-post-per-day guideline. Duly noted!
  • the omentum . . is . . a joke, right?
  • This medical dictionary doesn't think so. Although I suspect the omentum doesn't cause obesity as much as the mouth does.
  • Oprah needs to stop.
  • That' guy is making crap up to get on Okrah again. Seriously. That's the kind of thinking that doctors were doing, what, back in the 1400s or something?
  • Never heard of the omentum before but according to wiki, there's a greater omentum and a lower omentum. How about that? Also looking at gross pictures of the omentum sure is a good motivator for losing weight.
  • i like okrah
  • I want a free car.
  • If you think the link re: Omentum was bad, you should check out the link regarding Dr. Oz's earlier appearance entitled, "Everybody Poops."
