    Dr. Oz is a quack. Do some research:

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

    All I can say is OMG. That is so wrong of him to do that to people. Many will blindly waste what little money they have doing this crap.

    I assume you are referring to Diacetyl which occurs naturally in beer and wine as well as some dairy by way of the fermentation process.

    While there is conjecture, there are no studies that this causes issues linked to Alzheimer's and the only safety issue is with regard to people who work in places that manufacture it due to the large dosages.

    I don't really care about Dr. Oz, but this information is correct. Diet butter spreads/sprays are made up of preservatives and chemicals and they aren't healthy at all. You're much better off just using real butter, but using a little less of it.

    Examples?

    everything out there is going to have a study that links it to something awful... tell you what is proved to kill people heart disease and obesity is the one biggest direct risk factor bar smoking. A lady asked me today if her nicotine replacement therapy was 'safe'. I told her I cannot prove that NRT is safe but I can prove its a hell of a lot safer than the 66 cancer causing toxic chemicals she inhales. You fat spray is the same... your question is what will kill you quicker obesity or the low cal spray ( whether or not back by research) its comman knowldeg that being overweight impacts on your health anmd causes premature death...spray away...

    The air we breathe is full of toxins that may cause the same diseases. That being said, I'm putting 10 sprays of butter on my veggies tonight in protest of Dr. Oz.

    i tend to not take notice of foods recommended then told to avoid. a few years ago egg was getting bad press apparently they were terrible for us and could cause cancer. now we are told eggs are fine! before that it was bread. all foods are fine in moderation whether its full fat butter or spray, nothing in excess is good x
