I don't watch television but I've seen supplement ads with Dr. Oz's photo. I just assumed he mentioned a supplement in passing and the supplement company ran with it. I didn't know this was Dr. Oz's bread and butter.

While I don't agree that supplements need to be completely controlled by the FTC/FDA, I do agree that the product advertised should be in the bottle. All the negatives that John Oliver mentioned don't just apply to supplements but to the food industry as whole: deaths, mislabeling, lack of nutrients, harmful ingredients, lobbying Congress. It is wrong to think that supplements are what ill society. The regulated prescription drug industry kills 100,000 people a year in the US. Most are people who take the drug exactly as prescribed.

John Oliver's show has been absolutely brilliant. Their pieces on GM and net neutrality were amazing.

Peeped this yesterday.

The fact that his show is only on once a week, unlike Stewart and Colbert's programs, gives Oliver time to go ham with his coverage.
