The advice that Dr. Oz dispenses is backed by medical research and controlled studies. Gary Taubes is a charlatan who has been scamming the public for years. I remember looking up years ago and reading that he was sued for unsubstantiated claims he made in a book/dvd he was selling.
@Mariah What Dr. Oz says is healthy is supported by the majority of the medical community. How is it irresponsible to tell viewers the same thing their doctors would likely tell them?
The idea that “obviously different things are healthy for different people” really needs to be put in context. Are you saying cheesecake and french fries are healthy for some people and not others?
Finally, Dr. Oz does not encourage people to watch his show instead of going to a real doctor. In fact, he frequently tells people to see their doctor if they show symptoms of a wide variety of illnesses and disorders.
