Link to tweet
The caption states: Canadian researchers analyzed 40 episodes of The Dr. Oz Show and found that nearly 40% of the medical advice presented lacked a scientific basis, while 15% directly contradicted existing medical evidence.
Fact-Check Analysis:
A study published in The BMJ in 2014 evaluated 40 episodes of The Dr. Oz Show and found that:
46% of the recommendations were supported by evidence.
15% were contradicted by evidence.
39% lacked evidence.
These findings align closely with the captions claim, indicating that approximately 40% of the advice lacked scientific backing, and 15% contradicted existing evidence. 
Conclusion:
The caption accurately reflects the studys findings regarding the scientific validity of medical advice presented on The Dr. Oz Show.
