A bit about Dr. Oz.

James Randi strikes me as a good guy. He doesn't like bullsh*t. In fact, he's pretty famous for debunking it.

Here's something hilarious that I came across after reading one of Alan Aragon's posts on bodybuilding.com.

This is in direct reference to Dr. Oz.

http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/jref-news/1260-pigasus-2011.html

The Media Pigasus Award goes to Dr. Mehmet Oz,

who has done such a disservice to his TV viewers by promoting quack medical practices that he is now the first person to win a Pigasus two years in a row. Dr. Oz is a Harvard-educated cardiac physician who, through his syndicated TV show, has promoted faith healing, "energy medicine," and other quack theories that have no scientific basis. Oz has appeared on ABC News to give legitimacy to the claims of Brazilian faith healer “John of God,” who uses old carnival tricks to take money from the seriously ill. He's hosted Ayurvedic guru Yogi Cameron on his show to promote nonsense "tongue examination" as a way of diagnosing health problems. This year, he really went off the deep end. In March 2011, Dr. Oz endorsed "psychic" huckster and past Pigasus winner John Edward, who pretends to talk to dead people. Oz even suggested that bereaved families should visit psychic mediums to receive (faked) messages from their dead relatives as a form of grief counseling.

    If people would stop watching him, he'd be off the air. Sadly, no other way he's leaving.

    People watch him because so many think there is that magic pill somewhere that will solve all their problems.

    If you're knowledgeable enough to know the useful info from the crap, you don't need him to tell it to you in the first place.
