Mehmet Oz’s controversial health claims, from the HCG diet to green coffee extract

Among the many unexpected selections, this one was a surprise. President-elect Donald Trump said this week that Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is as well-known for his title as America's Doctor as for the numerous questionable health claims he has made from that position over the years, would be leading the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Maybe that shouldn't have come as a surprise. After all, Trump supported Oz during his failed 2022 Senate campaign, and instead of disclosing his medical records to the public, Trump went on Oz's program in 2016 to have an on-air physical. In addition, Melania Trump is fond of him. His Instagram feed also links to the iHerb store, and he currently describes himself on his website as a global consultant and stakeholder for the online supplement and wellnes...
