I'm just reading a Dr. Oz article about safflower oil and how if you take 2tsp a day you can lose 6lbs and 5' in 1 week without diet or excersise? I would never drop diet and excersise for this claim. But out of curiosity....has anyone ever heard of it/used it? results if so? thanks all =)

    You will just add @ 80 calories to your normal diet. The guy is a surgeon not a dietician or nutritionist. If this worked don't you think that Oprah would have a 23 inch waist?

    Dr. Oz is a quack. He pushes all sorts of products, particularly supplements, in which I believe he has a financial interest. I wouldn't be surprised if he was part owner of a safflower oil company.


    This guy is an entertainer. He is no substitute for your own doctor.
