One hoaxter versus another?

Dr. Mohamat Oz

Wait, you can’t take a pill and magically lose weight? I’m shocked!

Hmmm...I'm no fan, but I can't help but notice the increased anti-Oz chatter lately.

How did he piss off Obama?

Quick headline fix for ya:

Government confirms one of Dr. Oz's favored diet pills is a total hoax

[trebb]

Not much different than the many prescription drugs they push us to "ask your doctor if this toxic mix is right for you" every day.

I get a kick out of disclaimers like, 'We have no idea how it does what it does" or "Might be 100 times worse on you than the malady it treats".

How about botox for migraines because it averages a reduction by 9 migraines a month where the placebo only reduces them by 7 a month - what a reason to put a poison in your system.

That said, I need to stop by GNC today to get my alpha male supplements...

Oz reports on medical science. Medical science is damn close to astrology. Don’t blame the messenger.

I have some limited experience in the human supplement market. After seeing how it operates, I would never put this stuff in my body. Some of these guys are fly by nights and the companies that have decent manufacturing facilities can charge up the wazoo for their products. I heard one company on the radio claim they did not make money but just wanted to get the product in "your hands". I happened to have reviewed the financials of this company and this was a flat out lie. (BTW, nothing wrong about profit, just don't lie)

Now to Dr. Oz. He is in it for the profit. My company wanted to appear on the show with our supplement. We presented our research and as one would expect Dr Oz wanted to independently verify the findings. OK so far- right? However, his charge to verify was substantially higher than our research cost. Again, no issue with a guy making a buck, but how independent can you be when you over charge- it is a payt to play scheme.

So I would like to see Dr. Oz's independent research on Green Coffee Beans.

"Government confirms ..."

That renders the rest of the article meaningless.

[T-Bone Texan]

Both of those TV programs are merelt care-porn for lonely, gullible housewives.

Note how all the males on The Docotos are all hot and young.
