    I honestly don't think that he actually does any real research on anything he endorses.

    The only miracle fruit I know of that works is durian. It's considered a delicacy in certain parts of southeast asia.

    I tend to roll my eyes at Dr. Oz - he has a new "miracle" something every week.

    The word "miracle" in anything diet related is a good clue it's not one.

    every week he comes out with a miracle berry, miracle cure, miracle whatever.

    if these things worked would there be a need to let us a know about a new one? i mean how many "miracles" do people need in their lives before they start rethinking the definition of miracle

    I wonder how much he gets paid to endorse these things.

    Buttloads. Look how many posts are on here about "Dr Oz recommended this I'm going to try it!"... I have no idea why people listen to him but he reaches a lot of people.

    My dad's a doctor, and he has patients come in ALL the time wanting tests done and medicine prescribed based on Dr. Oz's recommendations. Even if they're perfectly healthy and have recently had similar tests. This is a big reason why our healthcare system is so broke. Expensive unnecessary tests and procedures.

    If a person took every supplement, juice, or whatnot that Dr. Oz recommends, do you know how much money you would have to spend? I take anything I hear that he recommends with a grain of salt whether it be African Mango or some weird seaweed that he's hawking. Whenever I watch his program - which isn't often, I always feel bad about myself - it's like he wants women to feel bad about their bodies

    No one else sees the irony? The Wizard of Oz was a sham. Did he name himself Dr Oz just to rub it in everyone's faces?

    I looked into this because a friend wanted to try it. It can increase blood pressure and heart rate and can interact with some medications. My friend did try it and her blood pressure went way up. When she stopped, it went back to her normal bp. I have looked up other things the good Dr had people all excited abt and nothing i have researched has been worth purchasing. Clean eating and move your body-these have been proven methods that work.

    Too bad no one wants to do diet and exercise. Everyone either wants a miracle or an excuse.

    I think you should have said everyone wants a miracle or HAS an excuse.....

    First, I have never heard of any Specialist who knows soooo much outside of his chosen field as this guy. :noway: Specialists are generally experienced in one thing & one thing only!

    Secondly, I'm a senior, I didn't get to this age by eating healthy fruit & berries, miracle or otherwise, because I'm severely allergic to most of them. Seriously, it would be a miracle if I could eat a friggin' berry! :laugh:

    It amazes me how surprised he always seems about the products his guests bring. Really? So you don't do any research before telling your patients...er, guests what to put in their bodies?

    Always consult YOUR physician before taking any supplements.

    Nope, they want an excuse. Everyone wants to hear how it isn't their fault... it's their genetics, or their metabolism or fast food corporations to blame. If it's not your fault, you can't fix it, right? May as well not even try.
