I think the one show that offended me the most was a "science guy" who was on to debunk common remedies... one was tooth whitening! They literally had a flame thrower (methane in balloons) that were exploded with a spark! The other demonstrations were equally juvenile! Total waste of time and resources IMO.

To be fair I watched the show this afternoon...the first part ...
carbs = cocaine! Not one mention of SUGAR, as a carb.
And the guest kept saying "serotonin" and Dr. Oz kept saying dopamine! Totally confusing to the audience. The fancy graphic only showed dopamine.(not serotonin). And no mention about how many dopamine receptors there are in fact! Now one can check dopamine reward research in PubMed by clicking on the link in the upper right corner of our pages...and see tons of papers on dopamine. The truth is that all food, releases dopamine to some extent, giving pleasure, reward, for us to eat, to keep us alive. Dopamine is the reward from sex too. It is in our lives in many ways to keep us doing things to keep us alive.

But sugar...will do it too! Not one mention of sugar on this show. Now that the medical portion is over, the theatrics have started, and I have left the room, but I can hear them in the background so they are still there. Why not do a 1/2 hr show, and do it well? Save time/money and do a better job?
