What does everyone think about him?
I've never given it any thought, but I have seen MFP members post things about him.

Today his facebook tip of the day was :
Sugar free gum can help you in your battle against a slowing metabolism. Not only do you burn calories while chewing, you’ll also be less tempted to fall back on high calorie foods.

    I think he's totally legit. I mean, he's a doctor on TV!

    That must be some powerful chewing to burn enough calories to even mention.

    I think he used to be a Dr, then he went crazy.

    I have been chewing gum like crazy since I read it... think I have lockjaw! I can think of other ways I'd rather have lockjaw :blushing:

    He sold his soul to Oprah and this is what's left.

    He's just tryin' to make a buck. Some of his tips might be legit, but he's got a lot of TV time to fill up!

    What are some other ways you can have lockjaw? I'm curious.

    People are sheep. That is why him and many others like him survive.

    I believe he may have confused "mastication" with something else...

    He's fine if you don't worship the ground he walks on. Listen to what he says to get you started, go out and do your own research, decide if he's right. As with anything on tv, take it with a pound of salt.

    I would bet if you e-mail Dr. Oz he can sell you something to fix that jaw.

    OMG, Someone mentioned Dr. Oz again...

    *eye twitch eye twitch*

    This. I've never even seen the show and get sick of hearing about him.

    He recommends so many different products for weight loss, etc. every program that I tend to believe he is getting something ($$) from these companies. As soon as a product is recommended it flies off the shelf. I like to watch his show but not too sure how much credit I would put into these products.
