He IS a quack and hustler.

Dr. Oz Has A Long History Of Promoting Quack Treatments.

“Dr. Oz is guilty of either outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgements about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments, or both. Whatever the nature of his pathology, members of the public are being misled and endangered, which makes Dr. Oz’s presence on the faculty of a prestigious medical institution unacceptable,” the doctors wrote.

The letter, and a 2014 study revealing that more than half of his medical advice was bogus, could haunt Oz, who’s leaning heavily into his medical background for his campaign.

His opening message this week was about where he thinks the government went wrong in confronting the pandemic.

“The government mandated policies that caused unnecessary suffering,” he wrote in a Washington Examiner op-ed announcing his candidacy. “The public was patronized and misled instead of empowered. We were told to lock down quietly and let those in charge take care of the rest.”

Hydroxychloroquine was never found to have any benefit in treating COVID-19.

Raspberry Ketones ... For Fat Burning

In a 2012 segment on his show, Oz called them a “miracle fat-burner in a bottle,” but there’s little evidence that raspberry ketones are anything more than pretty red pills.

Raspberry ketones give their namesake food their distinctive smell. They’re also present in peaches, grapes, apples and other fruits.

As a weight loss supplement, raspberry ketones haven’t been very well studied. The surveys that have been done show promise, but they used a far higher dose than you would get with normal supplements.
