Personally, I think it's a blessing that these "Drs" are so busy being famous (infamous more like!) that they don't have the time to actually practice!

Don't really feel one way or the other about the guy..I'm never home during the day so never really even catch his show but I was off Monday and his show came on..I was surprised to hear him say that what diet works best for you can vary..He had 3 groups of people take some bloodtest that tells you which diet would work best for you..It was either low fat, low carb, or something in the middle.

It was actually nice to hear someone saying that there's something other than a one size fits all approach and actually acknowledge that for some folks LC is the best way.

People like Dr. Oz are seeing their theories smashed before their very eyes. Rather than admit it (and lose and income stream) they are saying "different things work for different people" now. :lol

AMEN to THAT!! BARF! And he has the dorkiest catch phrases. When I USED to watch his show, occasionally, he would say his little catch phrase and then pause, waiting for the laughter and/or applause. So contrived....yuck!

Dr. Oz has colon polyps

"The 10-year cohort study by Jee et al collected the health data of 1,298,385 Koreans (829,770 men and 468,615 women), aged between 30 and 95 years, found the risks for various cancers were positively related to the individual’s fast serum glucose level and a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, but did not find a notable link to body mass index. In other words, being slim alone does not reduce the risks for cancers. Although the study covered variable cancers, the colorectal and liver cancers in men were statistically significant in related to the fasting serum glucose (0.03 each) only next to the esophageal (0.007) pancreatic (0.009) cancers. At the same time, the colorectal cancer in women also had a significant trend with the fasting serum glucose level. While the fasting blood serum glucose level is positively linked to the risk of cancers including colorectal cancer, those study participants in the control group, whose fasting serum glucose was below 90 mg%, still yielded a substantial number of incidences. This indicates positive association of the serum glucose level with the risks of cancers might be beyond that of the fasting.

Despite several studies denied the connection between the incidence of colorectal cancer and glycemic index, glycemic load, and carbohydrates consumption, [7, 8] the data from nearly 1.3 million individuals used in Jee’s study can hardly be ignored.

In addition, more recent studies supported the link between the risk of colorectal cancer and the consumption of carbohydrates. [9, 10] Gnagnarella P et al summarized, “This comprehensive meta-analysis of GI and GL and cancer risk suggested an overall direct association with colorectal and endometrial cancer.” [11] Barclay AW et al concluded, “The findings support the hypothesis that higher postprandial glycemia is a universal mechanism for disease progression.” [12]

Several studies have found postprandial hyperglycemia triggers inflammation. [13] A review article by Coussens LM and Werb Z cites, “It is now evident that inflammatory cells have powerful effects on tumour development. Early in the neoplastic process, these cells are powerful tumour promoters, producing an attractive environment for tumour growth, facilitating genomic instability and promoting angiogenesis”, and, “It is clear that anti-inflammatory therapy is efficacious towards early neoplastic progression and malignant conversion. In a fully developed malignancy, there are ‘excess’ inflammatory cells in the tumour microenvironment.” [14] The latter substantiates the observation that the use of Aspirin reduces the deaths from colon cancer.” [15]"

So the Dr. Oz diet will make you thin AND give you butt cancer

I would LOVE to have the Chicken Chipotle Cheddar meatballs recipe! Did the recipe ever get posted??

I don't like him either!

I am his friend on FB just so I can make comments. I just can't stand visiting his wall.

I sometimes watch Dr. Oz just to see what kinds of misinformation his viewers are getting. It is an uphill battle, indeed.

i thought i was the only one without cable, stuck with dr oz (and "the doctors") on with my limited channels.


it's sad to watch the horrible advice given on his show. i try to look at the positive... in that *I* know better. and you all seem to as well

Waiting to check out at the grocery store yesterday and spotted Dr. Oz's smiling Photoshopped face on the cover of Woman's World magazine. The headline said "Lose 11 lbs a Week on Dr. Oz's Easy Detox Diet". Gosh, I don't know how I resisted buying that magazine. I'd love to easily lose 11 lbs a week.


Do people still fall for these idiotic headlines? Do they really think that Dr. Oz has the secret to losing 11 lbs per week?

Not to mention that these sorts of magazines also usually have a screamer on the cover for something like "25 of the richest, fudgiest brownie recipes".

Followers of the "church of oprah" will believe anything that comes out of that woman's mouth. Dr. Oz is a moron and so is Dr. Phil.

I did a google picture search on him. He looks swarmy, like a snake-oil salesman. What up with the scrubs? It's so obviously a prop. It's as if he considered wearing a stethoscope in order to look more credible, like the fake doctors do on commercials, but figured that was too obvious and settled for scrubs. What a fake.
