Dr. Oz, yeah. He was brought in front of Congress for doing this. He went on his television show and talked about a miraculous green coffee pill that could make anyone lose weight. And he described his guest as a naturopathic doctor. He wasn't a doctor. He was a marketing executive representing a company that sold green coffee extract. And Dr. Oz stood to benefit Dr.
from the sale of this green coffee extract. And of course, there was no proven medical benefit and it wasn't going to help people lose weight. So he will do things like that.

And there was actually a British medical journal that ran a review and it found that at least 50% of the advice given on his show was not backed by scientific evidence or was in fact contradicted by publicly available evidence. And that a lot of the advice he gave that was solid was like really basic, like smoking is bad for you. So he wasn't giving great advice on his show.

And it wasn't particularly deep that it was bad advice. And so his colleagues at Columbia University co-signed a letter saying, asking that, and he did ultimately lose his affiliation with Columbia. It just was too much.

I mean, his mentor at Columbia described him as one of the most talented surgeons he'd ever worked with, but profiting so baldly off of information that was so demonstrably incorrect just wasn't, it was too much, no matter how talented a surgeon he was.

Yeah, I always think about this salon that used to be in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel called the Kenneth Salon. And everything sort of smelled of hairspray and you wanted your hair to not move and your lipstick was waxy and women wore all this foundation and makeup. And the beautiful woman was assembled there. And how far that is from the beauty ideal of today and this wellness ideal.

Everything is supposed to be natural. Your hair is these long beachy waves and your skin is supposed to glow from within. I think a lot about the corset and how women don't wear corsets now, but you have this internalized corset that's made of your ab muscles. which is really hard to get. And it'd be one thing to be like laced up and, you know, tied into it.
