    Obviously a stupid article filled with broscience and propaganda, but there is something I've wondered, if you use coconut oil for moisturizer, is there any way any of this gets absorbed into the body and digested? Probably a really dumb question..

    Yes.. I have been getting fat from this and cocoa butter since I was teen.. ;) NOT

    No. You can absorb sugars through mucous membranes (such as the inside of your mouth) but not through your skin, and fats can't even be absorbed from there, they need to reach the stomach to get into the bloodstream.

    Well if you eat so much body lotion that you go over maintenance, then I guess...

    Drs. Oz and Mercola should lose their medical licenses for the quackery they promote. Obesogens, my *kitten*.

    So, should we start sending lotion with food relief shipments to areas of starvation? Maybe send them all some BPA bottles to drink water out of so they can fatten up.

    Don't forget the Aspartame - totally causes weight gain!

    Aspartame in lotion applied after 6.

    We. Are. Screwed!

    I stopped reading at Dr. Oz. It's false. He features crap like that and then gets kickbacks from companies that sell magical products that were featured on his shows. A study of his shows has shown that less than half of his information is true and he has openly admitted to sharing things he knows are not supported by science.
    Yep. When people look to him on authority and proof of an issue, then you know it's pretty stupid stuff.

    Should I give out trial sizes of body lotion instead of candy for Halloween? Dual purpose, get soft skin and gain weight without digestion..

    Come on, guys.....you are forgetting that diet coke also causes weight gain. So does stevia, splenda, and, believe it or not, water. Carbonated water especially.

    Truth.
    If you don't believe it, weigh yourself before and after drinking a bottle of water!!!

    My advice:
    Don't read weight loss articles. They screwed me over and made me second guess how weight loss works for so many years. Had I been smart and accepted the math from day one, I'd already be in amazing shape. Basically nothing these articles claim is true.


    To lose weight, eat less food.
    To get toned and healthy, exercise.
    That's it. The end.

    If Doctor Oz' name is on it, set it on fire. He's not a real doctor and he doesn't give a damn about you or your health.

    That's the thing with things that sound ridiculous...more often than not it's because they are ridiculous.

    I feel dumber for even having read the summary of this article. I award no points to anyone who gave it even the tiniest amount of credence for even the briefest span of time, and may God have mercy on your soul.
