WASHINGTON (AP) Under pressure from Congress, celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday offered to help "drain the swamp" of unscrupulous marketers using his name to peddle so-called miracle pills and cure-alls to millions of Americans desperate to lose weight.
Oz appeared before the Senate's consumer protection panel and was scolded by Chairman Claire McCaskill for claims he made about weight-loss aids on his TV show, "The Dr. Oz Show."
Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon, acknowledged that his language about green coffee and other supplements has been "flowery" and promised to publish a list of specific products he thinks can help America shed pounds and get healthy beyond eating less and moving more. On his show, he never endorsed specific companies or brands but more generally praised some supplements as fat busters....
I've never watched this guy and have only heard his name, before seeing some footage from his shows. For me he seems like a real skeevy guy. JMO
