Dr. Oz today - Tart Cherry Juice

[Jay Aitchsee]

Dr. Oz. - a person couldn't possibly take all the stuff he recommends.

Hmmm, you don't suppose he gets PAID for all that crap he promotes?

The membership on another list I'm on is primarily women trying to lose weight (a few brave men, too). Every time Dr. Oz endorses something many of these women run out like lemmings to buy it. The last big thing was raspberry ketones--sold out in a few days online and in stores because "Dr. Oz said it helps ________." There were reports flying on that list about shortages and how to get it from distant sources for way too much money.

Women on that list falling all over themselves because "it must be true, or Dr. Oz wouldn't say it". I bet if Dr. Oz said jumping off a bridge cures obesity (and it does!) then some of these women would do it.

Scary that he has this power and misuses it as much as he uses it for good. A doctor should NOT be pushing product. He has no credibility, as far as I'm concerned.

I haven't trusted a word out of his mouth since he overblew that apple juice thing and got called on it by other doctors. Anything is fodder for his show. He probably runs out of legitimate medical stuff to talk about, so he just goes for anything that will get him good ratings and sell his sponsor's products.

This might be off topic of the tart cherry juice, but my main problem with Dr Oz is he gives too many supplement suggestions. Just for weight loss he has recommended 7-ketos, raspberry ketos, green coffee bean extract, satiereal saffron and Garcinia Cambogia extract. Which one do I take? Do I take them all? LOL. Just yesterday he said to drink 2 table spoons of chia seeds to feel full and eat less. I don't want a chia pet growing in my stomach! I had a chia pet, I've seen what those seeds do! Dr Oz claims he doesn't promote any particular name or brand and he doesn't endorse any product, so if you see his name or picture on something, it is a scam. Well I would rather he did come out with his own private label supplements so I know if it's real or a scam. At least if it's Dr Oz brand of supplements we wouldn't have so many internet companies selling who knows what pills in those bottles for 1000% marked up prices. Sorry I got a bit off topic there.

He recommended energy drinks as a replacement for people who consumed "too much" coffee!
The first commercial at the end of the show was for International Delights flavored coffee creamer!

No, you're right on topic. Isn't a tart someone who sells themself for money? So Dr. Oz must therefore be one.
