We are not the only Dr. Oz fans out there

As we have done repeatedly, fellow debunker Michael Shaw has some things to say about Dr. Oz on his web page Shaw s Eco-Logic.

Here are a couple of examples from his piece The Merry Old Land of Oz, which appeared on the HealthNewsDigest site:

[I[t became disturbing when Oz crossed the line from rational alternative approaches to flat-out voodoo, including a host of supplements that claim to promote weight loss, along with his praising of a variety of therapies that are little more than placebos.

In other cases, such as Oz advocacy of coffee and vinegar to fight diabetes, he relies on research that can be charitably called sketchy.

We encourage you to read his blog piece.
