Yesterday he had a guest "doctor" who was talking about eating right for your body type. For people who have mostly belly fat, it seemed as though he was recommending a low-carb diet--at first One sentence he was saying that hunter type would only eat what he could hunt, but a couple of sentences later he was recommending french fries and ice-cream! I'm not making this up! And of course, Dr. Oz was amazed at this new breakthrough approach that will save all the apple-shaped folks.

Wow, I can't believe so many people take this guy seriously

I wish there was a like button on comments

I was glad to hear them say that she didn't have to eat breakfast unless she was hungry The poor big butt lady though.. her diet was horrendous and she was told to eat carbs throughout the day to keep her insulin level. Blech. Oz is a gimmicky quack.

Dr. Oz is a douche.

He contradicts himself daily. He stated that he doesn't get paid for all the weird things he promotes but I doubt that.
How can anyone take him seriously? I rarely turn his show on.

I used to like him . I even bough a few of his books but now I think he,s a quack of the worst sort. Whats scary is people listen to him. My mom thinks he,s wonderful and is always calling me with his latest miricle cure.

Well he may have not been quite honest there.... It's probably likely that he doesn't get paid by the actual companies behind the products that he promotes BUT he does get paid by the companies that advertise on his show, and I'm sure quite handsomely, to keep putting new crapola on his show to attract viewers to see the 'latest breakthrough' etc... so he has to keep finding new stuff to shove down everyone's throat as the ' new best thing'! I used to think he was a decent guy (I actually found some 'truths' that resonated with me in his YOU on a diet book- more common sense than anything though) until my DH started watching him and then insisting that he just HAD to buy every new supplement he touted as it would 'fix or cure' some symptom he had. Didn't take long to realize I was spending an enormous amount on supplements with no real proof that they worked. After a while I cut DH off and started blasting the great Oz for the charlatan fame wh*re that he is.

Aren't seat belts required in New York? I wish the cops would arrest the quack in the middle of his segment where he's riding around NYC in a convertible taking questions from people on the street with no seat belt in sight while the car is moving. If I saw him I'd throw a rotten tomato.

LOL! Yep. Nuff said.

Bahaha! So right! This is what I love about people who QUESTION the claptrap this quackatron feeds the public.

Thankfully, in Australia we don't have to watch the guy anymore, since Oprah was cancelled. (She was always kinda quick to jump on bandwagons too, sadly)

lol... Me too. In fact when I saw this message, my cursor moved instinctively to 'like' it.

It's really sad that Dr Oz's show has won Emmys twice in a row.

"quackatron" I think that description is spot on. I only watch when I am bored and need a laugh Oprah and her 'trainer', was it Bob Greene? used to grate my common sense as well.

Dr. Oz's show is definiately starting to play like an infomercial! I guess he has to search high and low to keep reporting on new products so his ratings don't go down. I'm not so fond of him anymore either.

Not even...a douche actually has value...he's just useless..
