Dr. Oz Admits To Senator Many Of The Diet Drugs He Promotes Aren’t Based In “Fact”

Later Oz would acknowledge many of the products he mentioned “don’t have the scientific muster to present as fact” but “nevertheless” he gives his audience advice to use the products.

“I actually do personally believe in the items I talk about on the show,” Oz said. “I passionately study them. I recognize they don’t have the scientific muster to present as fact but nevertheless I would give my audience the advice I give my family all the time and I have given my family these products. Specifically the ones you mentioned, then I’m comfortable with that part.

“The scientific community is almost monolithically against you in terms of the efficacy of the three products you called miracles,” McCaskill shot back at Oz.
Oz then told McCaskill it was his “job” to be a “cheerleader for the audience” in defending his his advice to use so-called “miracle” products.
