He's a cardiologist/cardiac surgeon.  Definitely an MD.

Given that, he should be ashamed of himself!... Might as well be a carnival barker.

My sister is in the hospital, has been there almost a month so I have really gotten to know a lot of the Drs there.  Every one of them that is thin preaches eating low carb. I of course tell them all about FTS but I think it's amazing that Dr Oz is on TV preaching carbs when most Docs know that Carbs make us fat!

Sorry about your sister, SherriePie. 

I'm sure most of us have had to deal with doctors' egos.  TV personality mixed with doctor?  Massive ego!  I think we need to remember that TV is primarily entertainment.  Consider the source and trust yourself.

Well said Andrea!!  I rarely watch day time television, but the few times I have watched "The Doctors" and Dr Oz I was very turned off by them in general.  I work in health care now and have in the past.  It horrifies me some of the things that they throw out there into the public ring as general info.  The uninformed are making health choices based on these VERY general concepts and this could be detrimental to them.  I think it's dangerous!

Speaking of bigger rear ends, mine grew when I went off LC course but now I'm back!

Someone pointed out (on here maybe?) that while Oz preaches this and that new diet/weight control/fat reducer whatever, if you look at his audience, most of them are overweight and female. Ever since I heard that, I've been eyeballing his audience (not that I watch his show, just to see if that comment was right) and sure enough, there are a lot of larger people in the audience, just "hungry" for his knowledge. If Oz was truly fixing these people, he wouldn't have the audience coming back for the next big thing. God forbid you would sell someone a simple solution. Can't make money off of that!

As for "The Doctors", the only parts I like are when they talk about things that your body does and why (like "girl" issues). As far as the diet stuff, one of the Doctors wrote a book which annoyed me. In the first chapter, he talks about how he saw some overweight guy come into the ER who got into a car wreck. The "the Doctor" says, "he got into the wreck because ..... he was eating behind the wheel". So he's suggesting that this overweight neanderthal had zero impulse control and got into a wreck. PUHLLEEZZEE!!  Don't push another carby, "healthy whole grain" filled diet and then blame the person. I thought his comment was irresponsible.

And I believe the Neanderthals were lean because they didn't eat processed carbs and ate a lot of meat. So I guess Neanderthal is a compliment. In this case, anyway.

I have come across lots of mention of Paula Deen - I've never heard of her.  Who or what is she exactly?

I have only one word for that burger... GROSS!!! :P :P :P
A so-called "slice of heaven" that can bring on hell.

How could anyone but a totally hard core carbaholic make a burger with glazed donuts?... YUCK! :P
Addictions cause people to do other stupid things too... like sniff (i.e. huff) paint.
