Senator who attacked Doctor Oz over dietary supplements, Fact or Fiction

There has been a lot of feedback t on the Dr. Oz video that has gone viral (see link below) about his recommendation of weight loss supplements. I don’t always agree with Dr. Oz but I also know that quality supplementation will help with someone’s weight loss efforts. I realize that it is of some people’s belief that supplementation is not needed at all and that eating right and working out is the “ONLY” way to lose weight. It is very true that without great eating habits and some sort of exercise, losing weight is virtually impossible. It is also very true that with the right supplementation, you can lose fat and unwanted pounds faster than without supplements. With the correct supplements you can also help repair your metabolism and some hormone issues like leptin resistance.  I don’t know whether or not the supplements in question will work and I also know for sure that there is NO “MAGIC” pill! I believe Dr. Oz chose the wrong verbiage to which he admits to. Let’s be honest even if he did profit from these products how is that any different than any other celebrity getting paid for endorsing products? Jennifer Hudson, Jessica Simpson, Valerie Bertinelli and many more have endorsed weight loss programs and thousands more have endorsed products like makeup, vehicles, clothes and foods. Do all those products work or are they all great? 

As for the video with Dr. Oz and Senator Claire McCaskill. It is very interesting how she condemns him for promoting products on his show insinuating he profits from it, yet this same person “received over $146,000 in campaign contributions from one of the largest pharmaceutical retailers in North America. According to campaign contribution data published at OpenSecrets.org, prescription drug mega-retailer Express Scripts gave McCaskill over $109,000 in campaign contributions, most of which was routed through lobbyist groups or PACs. (1)

Sen. McCaskill also accepted over $37,000 from Monsanto, widely regarded to be the most evil corporation in the world and an enemy of sustainable food production, heirloom seeds and traditional American farming methods.”

So bottom line is yes you can get healthy and lose weight with eating right and exercise. I also know you can definitely speed up your efforts when working with a trained weight loss coach and with the correct supplementation.
