    He may be a cardiothoracic surgeon, but that doesn't mean he's qualified to talk nutrition and weight loss. In addition, he's not just a doctor, he got his MBA alongside his MD. He is a BUSINESSMAN. He's promoting products to make money, not because it's medically beneficial advice.

    Dr. Oz has practiced cardiac medicine longer than you have been alive! Nearing the end of his surgical career, my guess is he chose to go in a direction that would offer the best benefit, using his medical knowledge and experience, and expressing it in a common language to reach as many people as possible. Now if think that is "quack" and giving up junk food and exercising isn't in your future, that is your choice. Just curious - why do you think he is a quack?

    The man endorses reiki and has had John Edwards on his show. And not the politician who cheated on his wife with cancer, the really creepy John Edwards! The one who tells people a dead loved one is trying to talk with them, and their name starts with J.. or maybe B..

    He advocates quackery, therefore he is a quack.
  • My goal as I get older, and hopefully wiser, is to always keep an open mind. Vitamin D is huge on the medical scene these days. Evidently we (we being me and the entire human race in my pocket) have been Vit D deficient and scientists are just discovering just how important the extra Vitamin D can be to our well being. New studies spark new discoveries. Hopefully there is always more to learn (that is what trips my trigger anyway - knowing you as the younger generation will bring new concepts to light). What we know now may change dramatically. Who knows. Because of your tenacity on this subject I will watch Dr. Oz's program more regularly and may come back with a differing opinion.

    I appreciate everyone's input. I noticed no one has tried it. Therefore, I'm going to assume it's just another fad. Thank you for your help. I didn't mean to spark a debate over Dr. Oz's credibility, I don't watch the show, and I'm not well versed in dieting, nutritional information. Simply seeking input.

    In my house Vitamin D means something totally different. And I'm constantly telling my wife that Vitamin D will cure whatever it is that's bothering her.

    Laughed so hard I snorted. This euphemism will catch on in my house, just wait.

    I have been drinking this and it is pretty tasty -- I omitted the mint, as it is only for taste, and I do not like the taste! Haven't noticed losing weight any faster yet, but I just started 3 days ago, and as it is the weekend, haven't worked out much! I drink reg brewed tea all the time -- so switched it out for green tea w/ the tangerine for a little flavor! Trying for a couple weeks.... will update.

    Has anyone tried this? I've been thinking about it, since I drink a lot of Green Tea anyway. I was just wondering if it was another fad or worth the effort.

    Generally speaking, just about anything Dr. Oz says about nutrition will be at best, worthless.

    uuummmm ..most girls LOVE the OZ :love: ...careful fella

    Ummmm No. Not even a little. :angry:

    Dr. Oz runs an infomercial, that's all. His job is to convince you to buy stuff.

    There is no miracle drink. Except for water. Nothing better for you, no mixes and it's practically free.

    what about a vanilla milkshake made with real vanilla ice cream and real milk? :huh:

    That water mix only has very beneficial ingredients.. why would it be bad? Of course, I dont think there is a weight loss miracle, but all the ingredients are worth putting in your diet instead of plain water.

    I'm curious what would happen of Dr. Oz were to say that wightloss/fitness is a result of hard work and dedication... I mean, other than a major drop in ratings.

    He'd lose the riches all his sponsors are paying him to give their products a plug on national television. Then he'd have to go get an actual job.

    I personally like Dr. Oz. I have been drinking his detox waters and they do work and I feel great! I gave up a bad soda habit. 8 days now and really don't crave soda anymore. When I started the detox water I lost 4 lbs. in four days! The water is healthy and very good for you. What do you have to lose go for it!

    ....no.

    Dr Oz once suggested that, in order to make the pain go away, I needed to stop hitting my head with a hammer so often. Well, taking his profound advice, I promptly gave up my daily head bashings. And what do you know? THE PAIN STOPPED almost immediately!

    He's a miracle doctor, I say. Go Dr Oz!
