"Oz maintained his trademark boyish wonder and excitement as he delivered a message many of us long to hear: A pill could help us “burn fat without spending every waking moment exercising and dieting” and even combat “emotional eating.”
Whatever, dude.

On the rare weekdays off when I'm actually at home, it induces a lot of eyerolling.0

lol The physicians I work for were just talking about what an idiot he is over lunch today.0
-
yea but how many people believe him?0

I actually spent 23 bucks on that green tea junk and it didn't help a bit. My doc is totally annoyed with him0
-
I have been telling people for years he is a sell out and a quack. No one believes me, if they put it on TV it must be true, right??? Ugh!0

Apparently all the ladies in my office do. I forget led me to quip that "You should ignore Dr Oz", and boy did I get the "what-for".
I eventually said fine you do it his way, I'll continue to do what I do and we'll see who has better results.0 -
I can't help but wonder why Oprah thinks he is so fantastic.... how much did they pay her to endorse him??0

he apparently didn't help Oprah because she's still fat!0

When I'm at the gym, I always end up on the elliptical (when I actually do cardio, lol) in front of the TV that's playing Dr. Oz. It always gives me a good laugh.0 -

Yep the same ones that believe margarine is plastic. :laugh:0 -

This!
If his cures were so magical, wouldn't Oprah be Tyra-Banks-esque by now?
I only knew Oz by the ridiculous magazine covers chilling by the cash registers, but a couple of days ago I saw an episode on Oprah's channel (don't judge, my lung feels practically collapsed, trash tv ftw) and literally got angrier by the minute. The *kitten* that man sells is unbelievable. Is he an actual MD? I hope no one would give him licence to treat a human.0 -
I think people love him because he talks about poop. :huh:
:laugh:0 -
Ugh. Can't stand him.0
