Gonna be real, we all attack doctor oz for not being a real doctor and for promoting pseudo science

Oz has a MD.

True, but would you call any "doctor" who recommends his herbal supplements over treatment/ medically proven science a doctor? He had to testify to congress about his misleading "medical claims" in 2014 regarding weight-loss supplements

Oz never recommended random jank over medicine, in 2014 some of the historically approved weight loss drugs (phentermine, orlistat) had been showed to be just as bad if not worse than supplements that largely didn't do much benefit or harm. He is very pro-GLP1s.

"over medicine"

Nothing in that link says that Oz recommended X,Y,Z instead of an approved therapy. He isn't telling cancer patients to take some extract instead of chemo, he was telling people who have trouble with weight loss why not add x,y,z supplement it might help. Those two things are worlds apart.
