That Oz dude has always seemed kind of smarmy and gay.

I don’t know if anything he says is valid or not.

He just seems creepy-faggoty.

That looks like one of those creepy new barcode thingies people can scan with cellphones.

This is one of the supposed benefits of multi-level marketed Vemma (mangosteen). And doesn’t Oz also push saffron extract as appetite suppressant?

While I think Oz started with good intentions, I believe he has turned into one big time, advertising guru.

Day by day, he’s becoming more and more of a snake oil salesman, a quack.

I thought it was green coffee beans he was hawking for weight loss.

I’ve never heard of him before now but looking at his photo, I agree with you.

What I can’t understand is how Columbia University can fail to sanction him. Are there no ethical guidelines whatsoever for business enterprise associated with university tenure? Is he donating a bunch of money back to the school?

I didn’t want to appear to be endorsing one particular type of equipment.

Just like that arrogant self-promoter Dr. Phil.

I’m not a fan of either but if you read the entire article the authors question the benefits of fish oil and vitamin D. So what do they know?

I can’t tell you how many of my friends actually listen to this man. They usually don’t talk about it around me because they know I’m going to roll my eyes at them. Of course, they also think Oprah is just the best.

I don’t know if Dr. Oz is a quack or not; all I know is that if I bought every supplement he recommends every day, I’d not only be taking tons of capsules and pills, I’d go broke paying out the hundreds of dollars such a regimen would cost. - I used to try to buy every “wonder” supplement he recommended on the days I watched his program - and I didn’t watch every day - but very soon fell out of that habit. I simply can’t swallow all those pills, or eat all the fancy food he recommends. I do what I can; but am not in that “Oprah” echelon, thank goodness!

Tenure in clinical appointments is so rare it almost does not exist.

I would be very, very surprised if this shyster has tenure at the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Eat like your great grandparents did, meat dairy, animal fats and vegetables. Limit grains and sugars to lose weight. Do the opposite of what liberal media says and you will live healthier. And avoid vegetable oils, soy, and processed things, they are fake food.
