Dr. Oz is still the acting director of the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which you might recognize as one of the 10 best hospitals in the country According to The New York Times, Dr. Oz is "one of the most accomplished cardiothoracic surgeons of his generation." Over the course of his career, he has performed 5,000 open-heart surgeries, has successfully transplanted people's lungs and is just generally in the upper fraction of the top one-tenth of a percent of doctors you want standing over your split-open chest cavity in life-and-death situations. He is a good doctor and not a fraud, he might not be bodybuilding friendly and his stlye might not suit you, but he is not full of it.

@liuzhoudragon; Based on your comment and information above ("Dr. Oz is "one of the most accomplished cardiothoracic surgeons of his generation"."), this makes Dr. Oz nothing more than a good surgeon. A good DOCTOR is one whose patients will not need these invasive, life-rescuing surgeries as their doctor will have advised them properly on a nutritional regimen that is beneficial for their overall health and well-being. Thus in response to your comment, he is in fact NOT a good doctor, but simply a well decorated surgeon whose nutritional information is as biased as the information provided by modern-day Western Medical Schools who indeed seek to treat with patients first with pharmaceuticals before ever considering positively changing dietary habits or incorporating natural, safe, and simply homeopathic supplementation. It is not that he is "unfriendly to bodybuilders" as you are stating, Dr. Oz is simply unfriendly to any human looking to make a fully-informed decision on nutrition and supplementation in order to live a healthy lifestyle in general. He is, in fact in the most pure sense of the term, A SELLOUT.
