I’m more surprised that around half of the advice had some
I feel like a lot of it is really trivial stuff. Like if he shilled for homeopathic flu “medicine”, then told people to wash their hands regularly during flu season, that’s a 50% hit rate
Ewww, who spilled valid medical advice on my advertising platform?
I think at some point Oprah should be made to pay for her part on the rise of Dr. Oz.
Get in line. Dr. Phil is a much larger crime.
Another indictment for a similar crime.
Let’s bring Jenny McCarthy too.
I don’t blame Oprah for Jenny because they aren’t pretending she’s a Doctor as they promote her crack pot ideas. I’m smart enough to not take my medical advice from former Playmates. I can’t help it if the unintelligent masses do.
I don’t blame Oprah for Jenny
I do.
I can’t help it if the unintelligent masses do.
That’s victim blaming.
I don’t agree that it’s victim blaming. We are all responsible for our own health. We need to do more than just listen to what a few people on television say. Everyone should do their work and if they don’t, they need to accept some responsibility.

Please tell me how is this possible in countries where knowledge and critical thinking are demonized and magical thinking, including religion, is entronized as the most desirable way to evaluate reality.
Newsflash: it isn’t.
Promoting cutthroat individualism as a way to handle society doesn’t help matters either.
You’ll never believe who Oprah brought into the mainstream.
I’ll give you a hint: literally all 3 of the people being talked about (Dr Phil, Dr. Oz, and Jenny McCarthy)
THAT’S THE JOKE
Bruh
That’s a race to the bottom of I’ve ever seen one.
I figured it would be much higher than half the medical “advice” is B.S.
Just want to point out that Dr. Oz was a medical researcher who contributed to legitimate cardio thoracic procedures, but was also sanctioned and prohibited from presenting his findings because of bad research design, and was sanctioned for inhumane killing of animal test subjects.
His resume reads like he was in the right place at the right time, was a competent surgeon, and was a really bad scientist.
I feel like even when this article was published in 2015, Dr. Oz would be small potatoes compared to a large portion of the population getting their medical advice from celebrities, influencers and self-proclaimed experts on their favorite social network.
Thank goodness he didn’t become Senator Oz.
Surgeons are rarely well versed in medicine outside of their specialty.
Clickbait TV.
Unless that research reached the target audience of that show, that is a big waste of money to spend on research.
It could help bring out regulations, even if the show’s audience doesn’t understand why
And let’s be honest, they can’t understand why.
🦆
It’s right in the name, DOCTOR Oz. If he says it, then it does have supporting evidence because he’s a doctor and he’s recommending it. I get most of my gummy brain chews from doctor Oz and they work fantastic which is probably why I’m able to have some common sense unlike most posters around here
This is sarcasm, yeah? I mean, it could go either way, but the gummy brain chews bit makes me think (hope) you’re kidding.
Dude is a troll. In another thread he claimed Biden was discriminating against minorities by taxing the rich.
The gummy brain chews have helped me raise all my scores by like 20% or more.
Who do you get your gummies from then?
lol obvious troll is obvious.
Kinda funny watching you guys keep interacting with said troll.
That’s not how evidence works, a mistaken belief no matter how strongly held is still just a belief.
A doctor saying something is good for you, that is good evidence that it’s good for you. If it wasn’t a doctor wouldn’t say it. They’re not even allowed to lie, it’s part of the hypocritic oath.
No it’s not. Evidence is objective, you’re describing subjective opinions. They’re allowed to lie, they aren’t allowed medically to do harm.
They aren’t allowed to lie ever, not even a little white lie. You’re probably thinking of dentists.
Dentists take the hypocratic too boss. And they can lie, they’re human bud.
Do you think this is how science works? Lol please tell me you’re a child.
Good news: he is and is just trolling
Oh sorry I didn’t realize that taking medical advice from a doctor made me a child. Maybe I should take it from you internet weirdos instead 😏
You ok, bud? This is a strange way to seek attention. Hope everything works out for you.
