Dr. Mehmet Oz, famous for his “Dr. Oz” show, had recently been in trouble with the law over what has been termed a mere covert advertising on certain dietary supplements, passed off as secrets to effective weight loss, when their ineffectiveness in weight loss had already been amply demonstrated by studies and research. These were not easy times for the doctor and conductor : subsequently a medical student had asked for the suppression of his program, explaining to the Examiner who had interviewed him that as a doctor, Dr. Oz cannot fail to know that many of the things of he talks about on his show as weight loss aids are not only useless , but also harmful to health.
Now a new article adds straw to the fire: on Vox.com it is possible to hear his replies to the accusations made by Senator Claire Mc Caskill. The same person who tried to convince 2.7 million Americans (but they also follow the show in other countries) of the effectiveness of some supplements in weight loss, in the Senate has greatly reduced his certainties about it. In particular, there are three “dietary lies” for which Dr. Oz would have been accused: the first would concern all those products that “speed up the metabolism” (from green coffee to Aleppo pepper), the second all those supplements and expedients that would reduce abdominal fat (such as green tea: in reality it is known that it is impossible to lose weight in one area of ​​the body via the diet), the third and last all those weight loss pills that Oz has sold as “miraculous” (like raspberry ketones). In my blog I have collected the whole story on this matter and other in-depth articles . Here they are! Dr. Oz Recommends A Lot Of Things Burn Fat With L-Arginine According To Dr. Oz Dr. Oz ‘s Mate Weed Won’t Lose Weight Does fenugreek make you lose weight or make you fat? Dr. Oz under indictment
