Hmm. Dr Phil never got called before congress. Senator
Claire McCaskill who chairs the Senate
subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance was rather critical of Dr. Mehmet Oz and his obsession with green coffee beans. In the doctor's defense one might point out that unlike the nation's other authority on weight loss, Michelle Obama he does not have the power to force people to follow his advice. So his advice is worth what the television audience pays for it? What's the harm?
It seems the FDA has got the problem wrong for years and may damn well bear much of the blame for the current increase in the rate of diabetes. As many schools abandon the Spartan diet inflicted on innocent children by svelte and sweet, Michelle Obama vis a vis the USDA the senator may want to question her bona fides rather than pester a competent and respected cardiologist.
The doctor stressed during the hearing that he has never endorsed specific
supplements or received money from the sale of supplements. Nor has he
allowed his image to be used in ads for supplements.
