10. Trump Is Appointing TV Quack Dr. Oz to a Health Post in His Administration

Oz isn’t wasting any time in promoting his agenda, so don’t be surprised if your kids start getting "magic beans" (yes, he really promoted them) in your kids’ school lunches.

Just because we’re used to it now doesn’t mean it should be ignored. The appointment of Oz, who has repeatedly shown he values money over integrity and science, is a very bad sign for this country and its direction.

Oz, a heart surgeon, has come under fire in the past by other doctors and by lawmakers who say that he has promoted unscientific medical approaches on his show. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told Oz during a hearing on weight-loss scams that “the scientific community is almost monolithic against you in terms of the efficacy of the three products you call miracles.”

Oz, who came to prominence after being promoted by Oprah Winfrey, also drew criticism in 2011 when he did a show on the alleged dangers of arsenic in apple juice and another show in 2012 that focused on turning gay people straight, a practice that has been rejected by medical associations.
