Health study: Half of Dr. Oz's advice is bad

The British Medical Journal Examines popular talk-day medical show "The Doctors" and "The Dr. Oz Show" for the accuracy of their advice and found that a lot of it was wrong.

BMJ classified 40 episodes each of "The Doctors" and "The Dr. Oz Show" and compared her doctor at the precise medical information. They found at least half of half the Council's opinion and recommendations of the Dr. Mehmet Oz and the cast of "the Doctors" was prescribed supported by any evidence or disagree with the best available information.

This is not the first time the validity Oz Council has been called into question. False statements on a diet product took him to a hearing in Congress, where Senator Claire McCaskill, D-Mon, grilled him on his bad recommendations.

Postulates the authors of the study, there may be a future study, they should determine whether the shows for the provision of more entertainment by monitoring the public to accept or reject the Council can be recognized.

Consumers should be skeptical of recommendations for medical television talk shows, the details are limited, and only a third to a half of the recommendations are based on credible evidence, or any credible thing. An interesting question is whether we expect medical discourse shows that more than entertainment. Future studies can accurately these shows are directed to get in determining what viewers hope, and when the distribution of these emissions results in behavioral changes to specific recommendations together.
