Dr. Oz is a charlatan.

[trof]

Charlatan: A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud.

The first time I saw this jerk I was channel surfing and saw him claiming some herb concoction was a "fat burner".
My bullshit alarm sounded.
If there was such a thing, all us chubbies would be scarfing it down and we'd all look like Twiggy.

Twiggy in 1967, at the height of her modelling career, showing the look that made her famous

And who the hell is named Oz?
Really?
meh

1. Well that settles it: we should not label GMOs.

[bahrbearian]

12. I wonder how much Monsanto is Paying those Professors to trash him?

[Scuba]

13. As if he mattered in the GMO labelling issue.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Who's named Oz? A bunch of Turkish people and Turkish Americans. nt

[tularetom]

8. And this gentleman from Black Sabbath

[magical thyme]

3. well your picture of Twiggy convinced me

[shenmue]

14. Did she ever get something to eat?

Used to be, models looked like people, so you could tell what the clothing would look like on you.

Now, they look like the metal racks.

5. Stop mixing metaphors!

This isn't rocket surgery.

[Ron Obvious]

7. Of course it is!

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[Ron Obvious]

6. I agree completely

Also, I agree.

[longship]

9. Not meh, Mehmet.

But Oz is still an utter fraud and a quack. He sold his somewhat stellar surgical career down the drain to that utter kook, Oprah Winfrey, who ought to be outright banned from the airwaves for the damage she's done over the years.

I guess he chose the team he wanted.

If it quacks like a duck...

10. DU rec...nt

11. Laughing all the way to the bank

[tridim]

15. Because it's BAD to be healthy. M'kay.

[jeff47]

16. No, it's bad to lie in order to make money off people's concerns about health.

And Dr. Oz is lying at least half of the time.

(Finding one study is pretty easy...and very often the one study is later refuted)

19. Well you know...we have a lot of dept heads of surgery here on DU!

It is funny watching DUers pretend to care about science, then defend a corporation until blue in the face!

GEE who to believe...DUers that have no credentials and never will...or a certified surgeon!



"DUers" always crack me up! No matter what year!

[LiberalElite]

17. Although I did post about Dr. Oz and the attempt to get him fired -

I don't really have a dog in this fight. I never watch his show, I'm at work. I dont' have a DVR. However, to make an issue of his last name is silly. It's a legitimate last name with nothing to do with a little man behind a curtain. (reference: Wizard of Oz)

18. Gee, who to believe...words on the Internets by XYZ or the dept head of surgery at Columbia

You science haters always crack me up!
