The first time I saw this jerk I was channel surfing and saw him claiming some herb concoction was a "fat burner".
My bullshit alarm sounded.
If there was such a thing, all us chubbies would be scarfing it down and we'd all look like Twiggy.

(40,416 posts)But Oz is still an utter fraud and a quack. He sold his somewhat stellar surgical career down the drain to that utter kook, Oprah Winfrey, who ought to be outright banned from the airwaves for the damage she's done over the years.
I guess he chose the team he wanted.
If it quacks like a duck...

GEE who to believe...DUers that have no credentials and never will...or a certified surgeon!
