Agree. Many people want a quick fix.
I also read You Staying Young - just a book I enjoyed.
Colleges do not really teach about healthy eating. If they do, it would be a waste of money, since it's all in books.
Friends don't try to convince friends that Dr. Oz is a source of good information on health.0 -

And I simply do not see him endorsing things.
if people were not that dumb then the fitness industry would not make billions off of electric ab simulators, raspberry ketones, cleanses, fat blasting soup diets…oh wait...0 -
His opinion and guest list seems to be for sale to the highest bidder. That he manages to it entertainment for some is totally amazing.0

I don't think Dr. Oz is really a quack. I think he really cares about people's health. Wish more shows like that would be on TV (they are needed).
What did he do or say that made you not like him? If people criticize him too much, no more health shows will ever come in the future. A lot better than MSNBC.
A question ...
Are you actually serious ... or was this thread started all in fun, tongue-in-cheek, a bit of stirring to liven up a boring afternoon.

And I hope in the future there are more shows that teach about health of your heart and nutrition for a long life. We need them. We cannot shoot this one down. Or there will never be anymore.
Today, I believe he had a show about lettuce. This could remind people to go eat lettuce. He spoke about the vitamins, etc in it.
Granted some shows are stupid as heck. Especially when he has celebrities. I just walk away. I also disliked when he had that lady that can hear the dead (not sure why he does that).
so you think people need more woo woo shows like Dr OZ, so that they can be peddled more woo woo???
i think you need to go back to the drawing board….0 -

So much he has offered in the past 2 years. I have not seen him push any supplements at all.
is that you Dr. Oz?0 -

The show also has guests like Dr. Weil, Dr. Rosen, and Dr. Furhman. And I learn a bit from them.

What you "learned" from them was probably nonsense too.
All three are woo merchants

For me, in spite of everyone providing substantial evidence of his "peddling" ways, she's still trying to convince everyone to give him a break. Instead of saying "Oh, I understand" (because, there isn't much to NOT understand), she's continuing to say " Yeah, but...".
Yeah, but...no.0 -

Because he is a con-artist, all he does is try and sell gimicks that will never work.0

I feel like we're being played around with here.
OP has been given link after link full of evidence that includes his own admission that he's a fraud...yet she's still white knighting him and the BS he's spouted by claiming it's still good advice and he's a reliable source of info.
:indifferent:0 -
I mostly hate him, because he lies for money. Less than 50% of his recommendations had actual scientific research to back them up, yet he was more than willing to profit off of the gullible and the credulous. Sure, people should be smarter, but real doctors continue to rank among the most trusted group of people in America, so to parade as though he were a real doctor (you know, with degrees), giving real medical advice (you know, from things that you learned), is morally contemptible.0

CharonCharon aka catscats222 ?? You change user names so often I can't keep up. I thought we were only allowed to change once.0

OP you are exactly the kind of person that the Dr Oz show is targeting. Someone who is easily entertained, who is impressed by the "doctor credentials", who doesn't realize that the entire show is a sales pitch. The show provides enough common sense content to make viewers like you trust that all of the content has your best interest at heart, when in fact, most of it is either paid endorsements or a hook to.get you to visit a website,.where there are more paid advertisements...
Just out of curiosity, on his segment about lettuce today, did he happen to talk about ranch dressing?0 -

I am not sure if you are serious or just trolling.0 -

You believe that deceit and using fame to convince people to buy what are at best useless products and concepts makes people's life better? I disagree. His own concessions counter your view but you refuse to see it.0 -

Dr. Oz used to be a good source. Before Oprah made him famous, he was a successful, respected cardiologist. Shortly after Oprah made him famous, he was all about balanced, healthy eating and the eat less/move more model of weight loss.
Then he started accepting money from snake oil salesmen to peddle their mostly useless and sometimes downright dangerous wares to people who trusted him. That made him a snake.0 -
I swear nearly all of his shows are about what women are doing wrong\incorrectly.0
