It’s official. Dr. Oz is crazy. As in ca-RAY-zeeeeeee! And, clearly, I am too… because I watched his show… again. What is this sick fascination that I have with his show? I can’t explain it. It’s like a train wreck: I know it’s terrible… I know it’s going to make me scream with horror… and yet, I can’t turn away. Someone help me.
I know, I know… you’re shaking your head. I really should have better impulse control. But, let me explain myself just a little. These were the tag lines promoting the show: “The 99 foods that Dr. Oz wants you to have in your cart.” And, “Foods you can buy at the store that make it easy to do the right thing.” I just HAD TO KNOW what he was going to promote. Surely, there had to be some things on his list that I could agree with, right? Barely.
FEATURED ENTREES:
Oz began the show by featuring 5 frozen entrees– one for each lunch and/or dinner of the week. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I wish I was. He actually advocated that someone eat 5-10 frozen meals per week. Curious as to what he featured?
- Monday- Kashi Pesto Pizza (240 calories and made with 7 whole grains… yippee!)
- Tuesday- SeaPack Salmon Burgers (made with “healthy” canola oil and “natural” flavors & food coloring… ick)
- Wednesday- EVOL Teriyaki Chicken Bowls (490 grams of sodium and unfermented soy… but hey, Dr. Oz is pshyched that it has only 6 grams of fat!)
- Thursday- Organic Bistro Chicken Parm Bake (most likely made with arsenic-laced factory farmed chicken, since that was the only ingredient not certified organic. But with only 200 calories, this earns a Dr. Oz “gold star”)
- Friday- Amy’s Light in Sodium Organic Bean and Rice Burrito (gluten and more rancid seed oils)
Aren’t these just great? You have no excuse not to eat “right”– you can just toss all of these things in the microwave! C’mon Dr. Oz… COME ON!!
FEATURED SIDES
And then there were the featured “side dishes” where he recommends ‘steam in a bag veggies’. I freaked when Oz said that these are a “no brainer.” Microwaving in plastic is a no brainer??? Dr. Oz, it appears as though you may be a “no brainer.” Again, c’mon! Apparently these bags are BPA free, but anytime you heat food in plastic, plastics can leach into your food! Not good.
Or how about some bagged salad (fecal contamination anyone?) or BPA laden canned soup? Hey Oz, how about you suggest an actual vegetable… one that comes without any packaging… from a Farmer’s Market, perhaps? Oh, but wait… broccoli and collard greens don’t offer corporate advertising dollars… no Dr. Oz gold stars for them!
FEATURED DESSERTS
- Breyer’s Pure Fruit Berry Swirl Bars (despite the claim, these are NOT PURE FRUIT)
- Back to Nature Cookies (couldn’t find an ingredients list… also can’t find cookies in nature)
- Almond Dream Lil Dreamers (more soy and additives)
- Vitalicious Brownies (soy, inulin, and an ingredients list a mile long… but hey, it’s fortified w/ 15 (synthetic)vitamins!)
You probably don’t need a lot of commentary here. These desserts were promoted for being low calorie and low fat. Please understand that low fat is NOT a good thing. How about some real fruit? How about some homemade ice cream? How about a homemade dessert that you actually MAKE YOURSELF with real ingredients… ones that you can pronounce and readily pick out of a line up?
FEATURED COOKING OILS
The featured oils are not bad suggestions (with the exception of canola oil– that one really is a bad suggestion). But, I really thought that coconut oil was going to make the list. I had seen a video clip posted where Dr. Oz acknowledged the benefits of coconut oil, so I really hoped that this was going to make the list. But it didn’t. Ya know why? Because Oz wants you to use oils that are “high in healthy fats and low in saturated fats.” And he only wants you eating a leeeeeetle bit of fat. Wake up Oz! Stop the saturated fat insanity. Stop persecuting butter and coconut oil! I bet if you ate a bit more of them, you might be able to think more clearly… our brains like fat… brains are 60% fat. Please stop trying to put our brains on a diet. Here’s what Oz recommended as the “essentials.”
- Canola oil (if you don’t mind rancid oils… free radicals, anyone?)
- Macadamia nut oil (great in moderation, not as a “butter substitute” for baking like Oz suggests)
- Toasted sesame oil (great in moderation… but not stable… don’t heat it)
- Walnut oil (again, moderation)
- Olive oil (great choice if you can find quality oil, but many olive oils are not pure olive oil)
Check out our entire series on fats: the good, the bad, and the conspiracies.
IT GETS BETTER WORSE
So after Dr. Oz finishes featuring his endless menu of processed foods (with more to be found on his website), I hear this segue: “Still ahead: Best Foods to Lower Your Cancer Risk.” YOU. HAVE. GOT. TO. BE. KIDDING. ME. You must be! Ya wanna know what you should eat to avoid cancer? How bout you don’t eat ANY of those foods that Oz promoted?! How about you eat real food! I’m thinking that adding his suggested servings of lima beans, parsley, limes and apricots (which aren’t even on his list) to an array of factory produced chemistry experiments food-like substances is not going to cut it. If you want to avoid cancer (and any other modern disease) you need to change the way you eat and re-evaluate what you “know” about health– and you probably shouldn’t rely on the freezer section to provide you with the bulk of your “food.” And you should consider not relying on Dr. Oz for your health info.
AND WORSE-ER
The featured “chef”? Hungry Girl. Yep. Hungry Girl. Famous for “guilt free” low fat and low calorie “cooking”. I think I know why she’s hungry. My head hurts… from banging it against the wall. She taught the audience how to “cook” a Guilt Free Fettuccine Alfredo with tofu noodles, light cheeses, and reduced fat sour cream. And, bonus: You could throw this in the microwave too!
AND WORSE-EST
Just one more great idea from Dr. Oz before the show ends. Frozen french fries! His recipe? Coat them with baking spray and cook them in the toaster oven. French fries and baking spray. French fries… and baking spray. Wait for it…………….. C’mon!
IN SUMMARY
Please don’t tell me that this is a starting point for people with an already terrible diet. Or that these are good ideas for his target audience who probably eat at the drive thru. Please, please don’t defend this. I could live with a few of these being on his list if the remainder of the list included real food. But it doesn’t, and that is nothing short of irresponsible. A diet full of processed foods that are cooked in plastic in the microwave is a recipe for disaster (and possibly cancer). You cannot rectify a processed foods diet by throwing in a couple servings of lima beans and apricots as “cancer fighters.” Not going to work. Dr. Oz is crazy. I am crazy for watching his show. You are crazy if you follow his advice.

This is the first time reading your blog and I am in total agreement. Every time I watch Dr. Oz, I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t stop! I did not watch this one, but I’m sure if I had I would have been banging my head against the wall also
February 2, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Oh no… you do the same thing Erin? We need a support group. I don’t watch it too often because I don’t have time to write a response to each one of his ridiculous shows!
February 2, 2012 at 1:45 pm
One of the few times I have watched it he had Dr. Mercola on the show (who lives in the same suburb I do!) and Dr. Mercola of course was talking about eating real food and going out in the sun. Of course Dr. Oz said he was “controversial” and tried to refute so much of what he said.
February 2, 2012 at 8:36 am
THANK YOU! It’s about time we started calling Dr. Oz’s show what is is– poor health advice. I think Dr. Oz is bending to please all of his advertisers who do not care about our health. I am so SICK of hearing that canola oil is healthy! Here is a great video for all of you who don’t believe that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=omjWmLG0EAs It starts out saying how healthy canola is, but you can see for yourself how much processing, chemicals and bleach it takes just to make it (and people are ingesting that!), let alone that they even get oil from the rapeseed plant. I had to laugh about your frozen veggie comment too because I’ve heard him say how bad it is to put plastic in the microwave!! He’s such a hypocrite!!! And he doesn’t look healthy at all.
February 2, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Thanks for that link Bethany!
February 2, 2012 at 9:56 am
Oh, this makes my head hurt! A family friend asked me to speak to another family friend who was recently released from this hospital following stint surgery for a heart attack. She told him too eat bacon. His doc tells him to eat soy. What is he eating? Not the bacon!
Also, cookies in nature. Oh, yes, the cookie trees are full of ripe fruit! Shall we fetch our baskets to pick some for dinner tonight? Let’s go! When we shop, it should look like food and not like a pile of boxes. Goats eat boxes. We are not goats.
That is all!
February 2, 2012 at 10:02 am
Wait! Not all! I used to eat canola and I called the Kirkland number to see of their’s was chemically extracted using hexane, it was. When I expressed concern the first thing the rep promised was that they provided breathing apparatus and careful ventilated the areas to avoid causing lung damage in their employees. Wait, what?! Seriously? Ok I was afraid because we were EATING it but she opened a whole NEW door of fear!
February 2, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Yeah, the employees manufacturing the stuff need to wear breathing apparatus… but it’s “healthy” for us. C’mon!
February 2, 2012 at 11:47 am
For the most part on the very infrequent occasions that I watch Dr. Quack (oops, I mean Oz) it is to see what he is promoting so I can make sure I don’t do that. Just like grocery shopping………..watch what the really obese people are loading their carts with and then, don’t buy that! Follow the J.E.R.F. diet – Just Eat Real Food, y’all.
February 2, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Exactly… no products necessary… just eat REAL FOOD!
February 2, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Just unplug the tv and step slowly away.
Seriously, though, I sometimes need company in the day when I’m doing my chores. I listen to lots of podcasts. There are paleo and low-carb podcasts to listen to, though I don’t know of any focusing on Real Food. I’ll have to look.
There is also lots of mind expanding programming from BBC Radio 4 you can download and tons of university lectures in different subject areas.
Though you may not end up with as much blog-fodder without The Great and Powerful Oz (see what I did there, cause he’s a fraud, git it? Lawsy I crack myself up).
February 2, 2012 at 2:22 pm
You are right Andrea… I need to show some discipline!
I do enjoy listening to podcasts and I will have to check out your other recommendations.
And yes, I get your joke– it’s perfect!
February 2, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Either Dr. Oz is a completely ignorant hack or a total sell-out. Unfortunately it sounds like he is both. His recommendations make it all that much harder for us to convince our families and friends that eating real food is the way to go.
BTW, your comment about Hungry Girl, ‘I think I know why she’s hungry” cracked me up.
February 2, 2012 at 2:24 pm
I’m going with total (and shameless) sell-out!
February 2, 2012 at 2:59 pm
I just went to his website and saw the show notes about the Dr. Mercola episode. It actually counters Mercola’s recommendations on adding coconut oil to the diet by saying, “…you don’t want to replace healthy fats like olive oil with coconut oil. Instead, you want to replace unhealthy saturated fats, such as butter.” Oh, hello?! He’s ridiculous.
February 2, 2012 at 7:33 pm
When I googled Dr. Mercola, it went straight to Quack doctors! I guess if you promote real food and not prescription drugs you’re a quack.
February 3, 2012 at 11:47 am
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but we have Oprah to thank for his popularity. I never heard of him before Oprah started featuring him on her shows. I’m sure he’s paid a good sum to focus on those particular foods.
February 3, 2012 at 12:40 pm
We sure do… thanks, Oprah!
February 3, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I realize that bagged salad has risks, but are there other options for lettuce at the store when we can’t grow our own? My daughters and I eat tons of lettuce. Are the heads of romaine in the bags considered “bagged?” I definitely don’t want to risk e-coli, but I love my salad. Got any advice?
February 3, 2012 at 1:18 pm
I like Olivia’s Organics brand, myself. Organically grown and they donate to children’s charities. It might seem pricey, but I’m telling you… they pack A LOT of lettuce into that container!
February 7, 2012 at 2:13 pm
I like Olivia’s as well. That’s the brand that our local grocery just started carrying so it’s our only choice really on organic lettuce right now. But, isn’t that just the same as bagged, only in a box?
Oh, and I agree…they pack tons of lettuce in there!
I do have to say, however, on the Dr. Oz show…..I do know some people who are making better choices than they were because of his show. If you’re basically eating a diet of white flour and other processed foods, his way is probably better. I live on the East Coast in the rural South, where diabetes seems almost accepted to be the norm once you hit 55 or so. Not true for my family thank goodness, but I’m just saying…..people around here won’t listen to any nutrition advice unless it comes from a Dr. and sadly most dr’s don’t know anything about nutrition.
February 3, 2012 at 1:18 pm
It just proves to me how ignorant people are, even drs. One of the reasons I love this blog is because the truth is so wonderfully put out there so that people, like myself, can become educated and learn what we should have been taught from the very beginning. You have certainly lit a fire in my belly and I am trying to spread the word that our national food industry is killing us. People aren’t always very receptive to the news. In fact, some people get MAD but their anger is thrown in the wrong direction (totally slaying the messenger). And I can understand why. They feel helpless. “It costs too much” “I will have to change everything.” “I will have to re-learn how to feed my family” For people who don’t accept change very well, this subject can be very frustrating. Thanks for shining the light!
February 3, 2012 at 1:23 pm
Thanks for your kind words Tangi! I know how you feel, many people DO NOT want to hear this. The reality is that change is hard… at first. After a little while, it becomes second nature. And, honestly, even though quality food is often more expensive… if you are not buying all of the junk and eating out, you create extra money in your budget!
I’m excited to hear your enthusiasm! Keep working at it. Make the best choices you can, educate others as they show interest, and keep on spreading the word!
Point them to this post… Dr. Oz has 1.7 million followers on FB… scary!
February 3, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Yesterday he had Rosie O’Donnell talking about health and fitness. Rosie O’Donnell?? Really?? I didn’t turn it on but I was so *HUH????* that I considered actually seeing her wealth of knowledge on the subject.
February 3, 2012 at 1:56 pm
I didn’t watch it either… one show every once in awhile is all I can take… anything more and I may throw myself off a bridge! But, after the 99 (healthy) foods show… nothing will surprise me. If Oz can be considered a health expert, I don’t see why Rosie can’t be considered a fitness expert.
February 3, 2012 at 2:33 pm
I agree that Dr Oz is an idiot but why do we have to dissolve into fat bashing. Being thin isn’ t a sign of knowing anything about healthy diet and exercise (vegans anyone) and neither is being fat. I’m so sick of the fat hatred amongst everyone interested in healthy eating it’s such crap.
February 3, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Merrie, you are right. Being thin does not mean that you are a health & fitness expert. My comment about Rosie O. was not fat bashing. Rosie O. is an actor, I’m not sure how she has established any credibility in the health and fitness arena. Dr. Oz is thin and I don’t think that he is a health expert either.
February 3, 2012 at 2:43 pm
I love this post! I have the same morbid fascination with watching the Oz show. The blood pressure combined with banging my head on the table prevents me from doing it too often. I really enjoyed your writing style an laughed a lot. I wrote a much less charming rant about his episode with Gary Taubes on my wife’s blog at
http://www.janssushibar.com/?p=10100
Crazy? I think he’s downright dangerous.
But what I find most interesting is the connection between this post and what the NCBND is doing to poor Steve Cooksey. Just because someone has a degree, is certified, or is approved by Oprah doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about. What do you call the medical school graduate with the lowest GPA? Somebody has an appointment with that “Doctor” right now!
February 3, 2012 at 2:48 pm
Thanks Be! I’m going to go check out your post. I’ll also let you know when I start a support group!
Since comments are closed on your post, I’ll comment here: YOUR POST ROCKED!
February 3, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Ha! I go through the same thing every week too! My kids have to listen to me rant at the tv and ask why I don’t just change the channel.
It kills me how many people are so eagerly listening in the audience. They are overweight, scared and getting TERRIBLE advice that will take them further in the direction they don’t want to go. We need a response group/site to counteract the ignorance he’s spreading. STAT!
Did you see the episode on gastric bypass? I watched for 5 minutes while he described the procedure then proceeded to recommend it to help stop diabetes!???!!! How can this craziness go unchecked?
February 3, 2012 at 7:51 pm
I’ll keep you posted on the start of the support group Vern! I don’t know how he gets away with this craziness… it is nuts! I checked his FB page and people were like “thanks for this great information– so glad to know what to shop for!” Yikes!
February 3, 2012 at 6:14 pm
Hi,
I’ve never read your blog, and I’m so glad I stumbled on it! What you wrote is hilarious and oh so true!!! I’ve tried to watch Dr. Oz, and every time I do I’m amazed by the stupid things he has to say!!!
Honestly, I thought he was much better on Oprah, so I gave his show a very short shot!!!
February 3, 2012 at 7:50 pm
I agree Lori– I don’t remember him being so whacky on Oprah, but then again, I hadn’t experienced my real food conversion yet… so I’m not sure!
February 3, 2012 at 7:08 pm
OMG I’m one of the 1.7 million!! This post is on point. This is quite scary I’m among the ‘fat’ and to think I thought he knew what he was talking about!!! SMH
February 3, 2012 at 7:20 pm
It’s ok Luci, come join us over here on the freak side!
February 3, 2012 at 7:52 pm
Yes Luci, jump ship! Join us!
February 3, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Dear word!!! I have watched him once or twice and thought what the heck is this guy on?! So sad he has so many people taking his words to heart.
February 3, 2012 at 8:23 pm
1.7 million on FB alone!
February 3, 2012 at 9:26 pm
If I watched Dr. Oz he would give me high blood pressure. I can’t STAND him. He drives me crazy. He is so full of himself. And I’m normally a calm person. People hang on his every wrong word. Just think of the damage being done. Ugg! This is pretty Shocking!!! Dr. Mercola has the patience of steel when he goes on that show.
February 3, 2012 at 10:55 pm
Yup… not gonna lie… I was flipping out.
February 3, 2012 at 10:09 pm
I loved your commentary! I’ve never watched Dr. Oz, nope, not ever, but a FB friend posted your link and the title got me. Thanks for the laughs, and I’m with you!!
February 3, 2012 at 10:54 pm
And I’m going to recommend that you never do!
February 6, 2012 at 9:32 pm
Ha, ha…. thanks for the recommendation
Since my values align more closely to yours than to the Doc, I doubt I ever will!
February 3, 2012 at 11:32 pm
Thank you for your post!
I watched a segment he did with Gary Taubes and it was just nuts! Poor Gary couldn’t get a word in edgewise. And Dr. Oz worked hard to make him look un-credible. In that segment, they showed little scenes of Dr Oz eating *some* real food, albeit low fat. And now, he’s advocating that people eat processed food…hmmm. Sounds like he’s selling out.
And I suspect that the processed food he promoted may have come along with a little bonus for him. Perhaps.
Thank you again!
February 4, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Yep… he is definitely bowing to some corporate overlords… it’s disgraceful.
February 4, 2012 at 1:10 am
There are cookie trees in nature. Yep, I have a cookie tree on my farm, in farmville. Oh wait, that isn’t real….. neither is Oz’s food? I don’t understand why low calorie is considered healthy food. Put me on your bandwagon, lets eat the real food!
February 4, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Because the “diet dictocrats” keep pounding the message of low cal & low fat… and many are buying it (both literally and figuratively)!
February 4, 2012 at 6:48 pm
I change the channel as fast as I can when Dr. Oz comes on. But I am mesmerized by Hungry Girl! I just can’t wait to see which chemically created version of real food she will cook with next. And I apparently I run a continuous rant the entire time it is on the TV that causes my DH to offer to change the channel for me.
February 4, 2012 at 6:57 pm
I had never seen Hungry Girl before that. I quickly checked out her website and seems like she’s got quite the gig going… terrible.
February 5, 2012 at 10:44 pm
Oh, how I love your posts/rants. I wish you lived next door so we could watch Dr. Oz together
February 5, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Thank you so much for this post. You made me smile reading this!
I used to watch his show religiously, not any more,
February 6, 2012 at 2:14 am
I always knew that Dr Oz was nuts! And I didn’t watch Oprah! I figured anyone that Oprah would recommend couldn’t possibly have any shred of credibility to them.
February 6, 2012 at 7:39 am
Pseudo-”health fooders” like Dr. Oz lead people in the wrong direction causing an already malnourished nation harder to accept truly healthier diets.
February 7, 2012 at 5:59 am
I just checked out his page, with the list, myself. I’d leave the following message there but it insists one log in with Facebook, which I refuse to do.
INSTANT oats over regular oats? Instant lacks the fiber and any nutritional benefit (as well as any taste worth eating). At any rate, with exception of the condiments and the beverages on this list, if I ate that way, I’d return to being unhealthily overweight again. Plus I think I’d have to amputate my tastebuds. And, sorry, soy protein isolate is NOT remotely a food.
February 7, 2012 at 2:09 pm
I love the titles to your articles
February 7, 2012 at 9:59 pm
You are right on the money…and you’re not alone my friend. It’s beyond aggravating. Turn away from the TV! It will make you sick. C’mon!
Best,
–Amber
February 17, 2012 at 2:54 pm
LOL outstanding post Leslie!! It boggles the mind how incredibly stupid some people are. I am minimizing the amount of stress in my life, and it’s bad enough reading stories about Oz let alone actually sitting through his ridiculous show. It is to the point now where he is pure comedy and I sit here and think, people really can’t be this stupid can they to believe what he says? I know I am wrong and that millions hang on his every recommendation, but it’s folks like you and I who will dispel the myth of Oz and expose him for the fraud he is.
If you haven’t seen how evil Oz is, and how he knows exactly what the Paleo lifestyle is and how it can cure disease, just search Robb Wolf Framework Matters, and read that post from Robb. If we can get the word out about just that post, the world will realize that Oz is just an evil paid spokesperson for big pharma and big food!
He should have his license as a physician revoked for failing to abide by the hippocratic oath as a doctor.
Here are some excerpts of it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.
I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.
(and this one is the most laughable)
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
Oz follows none of these!! He is not a Dr. in my opinion.
Tim
February 17, 2012 at 3:26 pm
SO RIGHT! And so psyched that you checked out our blog! I’m going to check out Robb’s post.
April 28, 2012 at 2:44 pm
Dr. Oz + General Public = blind leading the blind. He’s in the food and pharma industries’ back pocket.
April 29, 2012 at 10:45 am
While I am not a fan of Dr. Oz either, regarding his rants like this one I think he is speaking to the less fortunate in this county. I myself prefer not to eat anything from a box, can, or bag. Unfortunately there are people in this country who live in apartments that don’t have a kitchen, but only a microwave and a small fridge. I live in an area where housing is expensive and often affordable housing means you may have to rent an apartment without a stove to cook wholesome foods on. I’m not talking about college students either, albeit they are in this predicament too.
April 29, 2012 at 11:36 am
Hi Sunshine,
In watching this show, it didn’t seem like these were options that he was promoting to people without stoves or to the less fortunate. He was touting these foods as the “99 Foods Dr. Oz says you MUST have in your cart.” And, actually, these foods are quite expensive. You could definitely buy nourishing foods with the money spent on those edible science projects. Even if you don’t have a stove or a lot of money, you can still eat real food. Crock pots and toaster ovens are great options.
A lot of people want to think the best of Dr. Oz, but I just don’t buy it. I think he’s a sell out and he’s willing to hurt his adoring audience to make a few bucks and keep his show on the air.
April 29, 2012 at 11:43 am
Thanks for the insight. I guess I spoke out of turn. I didn’t see the show, just this blog.
Also I didn’t even think about the toaster oven/crock pot option, that’s what happens when you take what you have for granted I guess.
April 29, 2012 at 11:46 am
You didn’t speak out of turn– we appreciate your comments!
Hope you’ll keep reading, we don’t rant too often… but on occassion we feel the need!
May 16, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Dr. Oz contradicts himself ALL the time on his show… it’s so frustrating. –I recall that not too long ago he had a segment where he said that coconut oil WAS good for you, I think he even ate some on camera lolz… I’m trying to find info online about C.O. as I’d heard from an Atkins thread that it was a main part of some ppl’s diet. I dvr Dr. Oz daily, BUT I’m usually shaking my head & fast forwarding through the crazy crap he’s touting as healthy…
May 16, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Cecilia,
He’s crazy… nuff said!
We are huge advocates of coconut oil… LOVE IT!
