Doctor Oz excoriated by a
Senate Subcommittee
Doctor Mehmet Oz, America’s
supreme scammer, was recently racked over the proverbial coals by a Senate
subcommittee investigating fake diet products. Oz has been accused of being the
power house behind fraudulent diets, weight loss drugs and a variety of health
related medications sold to the public. On his nationally syndicated show and in
commercials he has made numerous false representations that people can lose
weight with green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone and other exotic supplements.
There is no evidence these products help humans lose weight and they could potentially
be harmful to those utilizing them. Oz pulled a Hillary Clinton by saying he
was duped like the rest of us as he lined his pockets from money drawn from
these endorsements. According to Oz he has sued companies who use his likeness
to hustle these products. There must be hundreds of lawsuits filed by him because
his face is all over the internet with these spurious diet supplements. Senator
Claire McCaskill stated that “the scientific community is almost monolithic
against you in terms of the efficacy of a few products that you have called
miracles.” McCaskill noted Dr. Oz was fully aware that the products he pushed
in the media were ineffective. She went on to state Oz’s media position permits
him to broadcast these false representations to huge audiences. Oz provided
quasi answers to McCaskill’s direct line of questioning. Oz stated he believed
in the products he advertised and gave them to his family members. Perhaps the
Senate should have connected a lie detector to the good doctor to verify his
altruism. Nevertheless Oz has been masquerading as a legitimate purveyor of
health products while he is nothing more than a modern snake oil salesman
praying on the unsuspecting. Deified by Oprah, Oz could do no wrong. Yet
similar to his mentor he has made tens of millions through deceit, deception and
misrepresentation. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/diet-fitness/dr-oz-effect-senators-scold-mehmet-oz-diet-scams-n133226
