Laugh of the Day: Food Babe = Idiot

I listen to a podcast called "Skeptic's Guide to the Universe".

In it, they discussed a study of the accuracy of Dr. Oz's recommendations.

In part:

"Less than one-third of the advice dispensed on TV’s popular “The Dr. Oz Show” can be backed up by even modest medical evidence, researchers found.

If that sounds alarming, consider this: Nearly 4 in 10 of the assertions made on the show appear to be made on the basis of no evidence at all."

Dr Oz is the nemesis to many internists and PCPs who spend a measurable portion of their working day untangling the confusion whe created.

I'm hoping food idiot isn't average. I'm hoping it is waaaay below average.

So it's OK for her to make herself rich using fear, innuendo, and incorrect statements in the media? Since when is THAT ever permitted? :rolleyes: :stirpot: :rolleyes:

One of my friends in junior high used to say he was waiting to hear, "Russia launches nuclear missiles! Details at 11!"

So this is nothing new.

But I agree. This "story" is half wrong, half made up and half wrong "science." The air is 50% nitrogen--like the airline is going to pump extra oxygen into the cabin, and if they did so at their significant expense it could hurt you. At least she didn't mention chemtrails poisoning the angels (which I did read elsewhere this week, no joke).
