He is also an entertainer and yes, every fad gimmick finds its way to his show but his show is not supposed to be a science documentary and I still think goji berries are far less damaging than the fad miracle drugs that find their way to regular docs (and us), courtesy of Big Pharma.
If keto catches with popular media there will be much worse than Dr Oz soon enough.

Not a bad point. New England is experiencing such a horrific epidemic of opioid overdoses right now, and I wonder why the doctors who originally over-prescribed the painkillers are not being held responsible.3 -
Here's a Fox News release on an TV episode featuring ketogenic diets. The guests aren't exactly convicted snake-oil salesmen...Dr. Oz and David Perlmutter Discuss the Health Benefits of a Low-carb Ketogenic Diet.
Source: Fox News
Dr. Oz said a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic-style diet accelerates weight loss and can prevent diseases
such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, and ADHD.
On the Dec. 24 episode of the Dr. Oz Show, he discussed the health benefits of a low-carb diet with
neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter. (This episode first aired Oct. 21.)
In his book Grain Brain, Perlmutter said a high-carb, grain-heavy diet destroys the brain and fuels
Alzheimer's disease and other neurological illnesses.
Perlmutter, who follows the high-fat ketogenic diet, told Dr. Oz that drastically reducing carbs not only
promotes rapid weight loss, but can prevent or reverse brain conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,
and ADHD.
Research has also shown that a low-carb ketogenic diet dramatically reduces seizures in children with
epilepsy and can reverse diabetes.
And obesity expert Dr. Eric Westman said a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet produces rapid weight loss
without exercise or calorie-counting. Cancer researcher Dr. Dominic D'Agostino recently said a ketogenic
diet starves cancer cells.
Dr. Perlmutter, a neurologist, told Dr. Oz that a grain-heavy, high-carb diet causes neurological
breakdown. Perlmutter says we can ward off — and in many instances reverse — Alzheimer's disease,
diabetes and ADHD by following a low-carb, high-fat diet. According to Perlmutter, a high-carb diet
causes inflammation, which has a catastrophic effect on brain cells, as well as the entire body.
But after speaking with Perlmutter, Dr. Oz agreed that consuming plenty of healthy fats (such as olive
oil, avocado, nuts and salmon) and limiting processed carbs can prevent and repair neurological
damage.
Dr. Perlmutter recommends a low-carb diet — limiting carbs to no more than 80 grams a day — and
eating lots of dietary fats, such as extra-virgin olive oil, avocado, grass-fed butter, wild fish, grass-fed
beef, coconut oil, nuts. "The fate of your brain is not in your genes; it's in the food you eat," he said.2 -
I find it interesting that the two main "docs" made famous by Oprah's show have both become these peddlers of sensationalism. I used to like Dr Phil when he was on Oprah's show and first started his show, but now he's like the Jerry Springer of therapy. Same for Dr Oz...
It's even more amusing when you compare the two in another way. If Phil would listen to Oz, and Oz weren't full of *kitten* most of the time, he wouldn't be fat anymore. If Oz would listen to Phil, and Phil wasn't full of *kitten* most of the time, maybe Oz could stop being a professional pathological liar.6 -

I think that's a great example my biggest issue with Dr. Oz: he's like the Reader's Digest of the health and wellness world. Stuff like keto and Whole30 gets put on the same level as raspberry ketones and green coffee bean extract, and so the teeming masses assume they're all equally good.

Given that TV doc celebs like Oz will continue to exist, I would rather they endorse something with legitimate benefit like the Ketogenic diet, instead of some miracle cure tablet or cleanse. Just my $0.02.4

Thanks Samantha. I had looked for a topic on this, but didn't see this one.

Mia Culpa. I'm guilty, and you're right. My characterization was highly judgmental.

That's how MFP censors bad words.

Anyone try the foreign language versions to see if you get *kitten* in different tongues?
Edit: Never mind. I entered "Scheisse" (i.e., "*kitten*" in German... uh... wait... how did I just get away with that .... *kitten* ?!?... ) in a German diskussion and got "Scheisse" right back in my face.

It's MFP's language filter. In the case of my post, they were both the "bad word" for poo.2 -

The most puzzling thing about The Great and Wonderful Oz is how he manages to stay on the staff of Columbia University. I speak, of course, as a layperson but I've always imagined that being a professor of surgery at a major teaching hospital would be kinda time consuming. If The Great and Wonderful Oz is able to keep up with medical advances, fulfill his duties at Columbia, write books and weekly newspaper columns, star in a TV series and all the other swell stuff he pulls off --- well, then we should definitely be following his health advice because he has the energy of a dozen people!!! (But if he still performs surgery from time to time, he better not come near me with a scalpel, that's all I can say.)1
