Yes there is something wrong with that when you're hiding behind an MD and pushing out unproven nonsense.
I agree he may have exaggerated some claims, but it's not like he has told people they can lose 50 pounds without eating healthy and exercising, just take a supplement instead...he always says you have to change how you eat and how much you move, too. He is really not as bad as some here seem to think IMO. If you are thinking of the pop up ads that say "Dr. Oz says Green Tea burns Fat!!!!" those are actually scam/spam ads, not actual Dr. Oz ads.
It's no different than the show The Doctors, IMO. It's TV, it's supposed to be entertaining as well as informative, and they're all going to try to make things sound more dramatic to make you tune in, ala "A new device that takes 10 years off, watch Dr. Oz today!" but even the news does that...."Before you eat that hot dog, better tune into News 40 tonight at 11!!!" that's just TV, and there are many more hands in the stew than Dr. Oz and a certain degree of doing what is asked of you by your bosses. Which again is what the doctors who wrote that letter were doing, again JMO.
The problem with Dr. Oz is he says one thing one week and something totally different another. A popular weekly women's magazine always seems to have a diet recommended by Dr. Oz. One week he recommends certain foods and supplements, the next week his diet says to avoid them. I stopped paying attention to his "quick fixes" and snake oil remedies, but he does have some valid basic medical knowledge that is helpful.
I just can't stand watching his show because the women in the audience act like complete fools, like he is some kind of rock star/god. I get embarrassed just watching them.
This. I lost interest in his stupidity when the raspberry ketone b.s surfaced. Also, his stupid show on women and their bellies. Like he would have middle aged men dress in speedos and cry about their bellies. Stupid ****.

The green tea ads aren't his, but he DID say on his show that green tea helps lose weight.
I quit watching the news because of the stupid lead-ins you illustrated. I lose respect for the people and organizations who do that. Which is exactly why I've lost respect for Oz. I can't trust him to give good advice on things outside of his specialty, because he has to keep his audience in order to keep his show, and he gives stupid, unreliable information in order to do that. He sold out!

I've seen this on many other shows, too, including the Today show nutritionist Joy Bauer, whom I also trust. It actually does help burn fat, but not to any extent that will help you lose weight without dieting.
My main point was those pop ups that come on the side of your computer that say they are from Dr Oz, or Obama or whatever, are spam and not actually from those people or endorsed by those people.
NEWS FLASH: Traditional medical doctors don't know jack about nutrition. Are any of you aware of why cancer is so prevalent? Oh wait....., you didn't realize that in 1900 cancer was an anomaly?
Invest in this website and it may save your life or a loved one's life. While this may not be directly related to Dr. Oz, he is being crucified by the same people who get paid millions by the traditional pharmaceutical companies. These companies do not want to have a cure for cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, etc.
While I don't want his show, I am aware of his critics and they are all following the money trail back to the pharmaceutical companies.
Don't take my word for it, research it for yourself.
Tell me how former cancer patients are now cancer free without radiation and chemotherapy?
