Mehmet Oz, who has long lived in New Jersey, announced that he will run for a seat in the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. As a TV doctor, you will know him better, Dr. Oz. Do you really want to know that he is Sen. Oz? It's up to you (It's up to you.
But I think the first two lines on Wikipedia about him are important.
"He advocated pseudoscience and alternative medicine, and was criticized by doctors, government officials, and publications including Popular Science and The New Yorker for supporting unproven products and non-scientific recommendations. The British Medical Journal "A published study found that more than half of the recommendations in the medical talk series including The Dr. Oz Showeither had no evidence or contradicted medical research."
Therefore, since reality is no longer important to many voters, he may be just a liar. But let us briefly look at another universe of this doctor.
Oz has publicly stated that your zodiac sign can "reveal our health." Astrology is a pseudoscience.
He once touted green coffee extract as a "magic weight-loss medicine." The company behind the flawed research touted by Oz paid the Federal Trade Commission millions of dollars in false claims.
Former Senator Claire McCaskill said to Oz at the time: "In terms of the efficacy of the three products you call miracles, the scientific community is almost monolithic."
He claims that umckaloabo root extract is "very effective in relieving cold symptoms." No.
Ten doctors signed a letter of concern to Columbia University, which included: "Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown contempt for science and evidence-based medicine, as well as unfounded and relentless opposition to genetic engineering of food crops. The most. The worst thing is that he advocates quack treatment and treatment for personal financial gain, which shows that he is extremely lack of integrity."
Oz promoted guests on his show, such as faith healers, psychics, anti-vaccine people, such as Robert Kennedy Jr., and people who peddled unproven medical claims, such as Joseph Mercola (Joseph Mercola). ), a bs artist, often touted by other bs artists.
He took the Reiki therapist, and of course, the mystic, absorbed the invisible energy and brought it into his operating room, and at the same time performed sensitive surgery on the patient.
This man is widely regarded as a quack. Now he wants to be a member of the U.S. Senate.
Think about it, he might be a perfect company.
