did anybody see dr. oz on the view today ( monday may 21 , 2012 ) ? he was with barbara walters & another hostess discussing the cause(s) of atherosclerosis , & coronary heart disease . he was showing these hostesses on a dissected heart what the disease looks like . barbara asked what the cause was . he stated that "white foods " such as pasta , rice , & of course , white sugar are the villains . i find it curious that he failed to mention the # 1 culprit - animal foods ! he then tackled the issue of obesity . he again condemned white foods . barbara walters , being the inquisitive reporter she is , asked him specifically if meat causes obesity . his answer dumbfounded me - no only the white foods cause obesity , not meat ! what ? now i realize that refined white foods are bad , but that's only one quarter of the issues surrounding our health . the other three quarters are from animal products . plus , he failed to mention the good white foods , such as apples , bananas , etc. i think dr. oz did his audience a tremendous dis-service by only presenting a small portion of the issues . before today , i thought dr. oz was a smart nutritionist . now i'm not so sure . i mean , does this guy work for the atkins or paleo diet advocates ? how do all of you feel about what he said ( & didn't say ) ?

i was just watching a dtm video today and he mentioned a comment he got from someone saying if they'd seen one liferegenerator video that they'd seen them all. at first he said he was offended, but then he looked at it another way and saw it as a compliment. there is truth in simplicity.

Mainstream media wants to completely ignore the dangers of meat, and blame something else so that the corrupt & greedy factory farming corporations can continue thriving, and more and more people will still get sick, and thus big bucks for big pharma.
It's sad how many people are being duped by the media. I mean it's now a pretty mainstream BELIEF that carbs are evil. And that we need TONS of protein! I can't stand those "doctor shows." They are so full of crap, and sadly people eat it up.

Permalink Reply by Lala M. Apples on I don't mind Dr. Oz, as he encourages people to think outside of the box when it comes to health. He also discusses alternative therapy too. No, I don't believe everything he says, but I like his openess and willingness to hear other points of view. Since he isn't a vegan I wouldn't expect him to believe meat is bad. And he sure loves some EVOO LOL.
Permalink Reply by Mette Marit on I'm really shocked! Isn't he a cardiothoracic surgeon? He should no more than anyone else that excessive animal product consumption causes high cholesterol and atherosclerosis in a large amount of patients over 50.
White rice and white bread isn't exactly the best for you, but I'm surprised he said that that is what is causing obesity when in fact, there are sooo many processed foods and worse foods, like soft drinks, that contribute to the problem.
I think Dr. Oz is heavily sponsored by the vitamin companies and herbal food companies that he shows on his show. He seems like a nice guy but I suspect that he has moments where he is more profit driven than informative. In reality, most doctors aren't very well trained in nutrition. And as a surgeon, I suspect even less so.
Permalink Reply by anthony Gigliobanco on this conversation has gotten off track . jon is right - if you want to spread the paleo/atkins garbage , then go to another site . these people missed my point - yes , we know that refined carbs are bad , but dr. oz did a tremendous dis-service to his audience by not acknowledging ( even denying ! ) the role animal fats play in degenerative disease . now , some people here said they lost weight or corrected some lab abnormalities . the real question is - who cares ? every major epidemiological study shows that after a short grace period , the weight & lab values skyrocket to abnormal with a vengeance . why do you think bill clinton had to abandon the south beach diet ? it wasn't until he adopted a vegan diet ( even whole grains ! ) that his coronary arteries cleared up & he lost weight . lastly , the closest example we have to a paleo/atkins style diet are the eskimos . as i mentioned above , even when eating a so called clean diet of flesh with no processed foods , they still suffered from early onset of degenerative diseases , & yes , even morbid obesity !

Permalink Reply by Christy on I stopped watching dr. oz after finding this lifestyle. I like the guy but he aggravates me. He doesn't know true health. If he did he wouldn't be promoting animal products and be promoting more fruit!
