I love that they are calling him out on it.

"McCaskill asked why Oz didn’t use his show to promote what actually has been proven to help people lose weight — careful eating and exercise."

People get hooked on his show because they want to believe there really is a quick fix. They'll just have to learn the hard way when their wallets are empty. I've never really watched his show, I've seen snippets when changing a channel, and something about him is very off putting.

Yeah...when someone claims magical health benefits of X one week and then the next week claims that X is pretty much the worst possible thing you could do...that can be pretty off putting to say the least.

Guy is pure snake oil salesman

I'm sure he's actually a good doctor in what he's trained for, but he should really know better than to sell products that he knows won't work. Anything for a paycheck, I guess.

Now if they'd yank his ability to be a doctor and give him prison time for fraud.

My biggest issue is that he is a cardiothoracic surgeon. How does this even qualify him to talk about all the other medical things that he talks about?

He is a joke and a pathetic excuse for a serious Dr who is supposed to be saving lives.
