DR OOPS.
Popular television doctor with
a highly polished presentation
format and extensive audience
base, Dr Mehmet Oz, also known
as Dr Oz of The Dr Oz Show, has
been reprimanded by a senate
panel for hawking non-evidence-based
medications on his show.
According to USA Today,
Oz claimed his products had
demonstrated effectiveness but
admitted that not all would pass
the scrutiny of the Food and Drug
Administration.
The senators targeted ‘Pure
Green Coffee’ beans, which
claimed dramatic weight and fat
loss as well as raspberry ketone
supplements which Oz had
promoted, the publication said.
Oz also claimed he had been
the victim himself of false
endorsements and had to set up a
website to enable people to check
on his endorsements and report
false association with the Dr Oz
brand, the publication reported.
PHARMACISTS in space.
Are you one of millions who
have a visit into space on their
dream bucket list?
Your dream could come true
for the princely sum of $10,
according to Yahoo! News.
A non-profit network called
the Urgency Network is uniting
a number of goodwill campaigns
that use their celebrity
connections, including Sir Richard
Branson, to entice donors with
unique life experiences, the
publication reported.
So simply donate $10 to a good
cause to be in the raffle to win a
maiden XCOR Lynx Mark II shuttle
flight valued up to $100k.
But wait - there’s more: for
every $1m raised by the program,
the network will purchase
another flight ticket, so there may
be a few seats on offer.
If you are a “lucky” winning
donor, you will need to have
the time to take part in training
exercises and medical screenings
before the flight.
