Cretin of the moment

Dr. Mehmet Oz, for some well-publicized dumbth concerning apples and arsenic.

This part is really telling about his lack of scruples:

His show got this letter (from the FDA) that clearly explains why his measurements were invalid a week before the show was aired, and Oz ignored it and went ahead and broadcast a misleading and hysterical piece. Some public schools are already yanking apple juice from their lunchrooms on the basis of Oz's lies.

Maybe somebody should explain to Oz that arsenic is entirely "natural". Or maybe some orchard owners ought to get together for a big class-action suit.

I suppose I'm jaded; I saw the beginning of that episode of Dr. Oz and quickly changed the channel before he got particularly deep into the segment. I knew what was coming, and that should be a lesson to anyone else still watching his show after he let like John Edward (!) and other assorted hustlers and quacks on to begin with.
