It's difficult to out-Oz Dr. Oz, America's Quack, who has raked in giant piles of money by promoting pseudoscience on his TV show. But at least one person comes perilously close: Dr. Mark Hyman.
Hyman is the "Dr. Oz" of nutrition. He embraces legitimate science if and only if it suits his bottom line. Otherwise, he's promoting junk science and magical thinking. To get an idea of the sort of nonsense that he spews, his website features an interview with the Food Babe, as well as his infuriatingly stupid quote, "Food isn't like medicine, it is medicine." The comma splice just makes me that much angrier.

Honestly, food is, by far, the biggest input into our bodies. Of course it is the most massive concern we have from our input side. Medicines can’t fully fix bad diets. Nothing from a prescription makes a diet of Twinkies healthy.
It’s similar with Global Warming. The Sun is responsible for our planet’s heat, to the absolute greatest extent. It is not “humans.”
So a diet heavy in cup cakes is really fine? Of course our diets are he most greatly impactful thing on our bodies.
But he’s 100% correct. Everybody that has died, ate food. Coincidence? I think not.

Yes! Food is loading people onto box cars and transporting them to the Zyklon-B showers. It’s EXACTLY the same!!
“The AMA comes out with attacks on nutritionist and vitamin advocates regularly.”
My mother followed Adele Davis religiously. If family is any guide statistically, it paid off.
Meanwhile the average Merican gets fatter than ever.
Look at pictures from the 60s. Lardassism wasn’t that common.
Everyone who has ever eaten dies. How about that for a direct correlation?
“It’s difficult to out-Oz Dr. Oz, America’s Quack,”
no need to waste time reading past that ...
The increases in propagations of conspiracy theories and related products (e.g., snake oil) along with increases in common consumer usage of the Internet have been interesting, and there are plausible paths of suspected causation to go with that correlation. ;)
