What a greedy rat that Dr Oz is! Selling himself to the kill-industry who is clever enough to use that dirty 1% trick.
These are probably the ones responsible for the suspected Prop 37 election fraud in CA.

There was incredible amounts of TV ads in the weeks ahead of the vote. They spent a lot of money, and portrayed farmers that would be affected by the outcome of the Prop 37 vote. The TV ad bombardment and the complicated wording of the props must have definitely affected an outcome that we all took for granted!

Thanks for alerting us to this, Vincenzo - this line that Dr. Oz is spewing is classic polluting industry PR, accusing others of what they do/think themselves, and I can only hope that most people are able to see through the kindergarten nonsense...

I'd like to hear an in-depth explanation from Dr. Oz explaining his sudden about-face! I don't subscribe to Time so I haven't read his article, but if he didn't explain why he changed his mind and didn't offer facts and statistics to validate his altered mindset, I'd be suspicious of his motives.

Thanks for posting this, Vincenzo!

Saturday December 8, 2012, 11:13 pm
Thanks Vincenzo!! I don't give a rat's ass WHAT Dr. Oz says. I'm staying with my locally grown, organic, NON Frankenfood!!!!! My body will thank me for it!! Bloody Monsanto will say ANYTHING to keep the lemmings sucking up their poison.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 12:21 am
Thanks Vincenzo! Noted. I wonder what ($$??) made him change his mind?

Sunday December 9, 2012, 12:21 am
It must be so hard to be rich and famous and to hold on to your principles. My gosh!

Sunday December 9, 2012, 12:24 am
"Middle-class Americans who prioritize personal finances and choose to protect their children from harmful pesticide residues should be proud of this decision, and should not be bullied or shamed by Oz. Our children, as Dr. Oz once noted, should not serve as the human equivalents of lab rats. Rather than malign organic foods as elitist, we must recognize the very real and indisputable health benefits of organics and work to make pure, wholesome, uncontaminated foods more accessible and affordable for all."

I wonder what Dr Oz's bank accounts and investments would reveal to an investigative journalist? It has been clearly demonstrated that those who support massive uses of pesticides and insecticides (resulting in new super insects and super fungi), and GMOs which cause cancer and birth defects have been proved to be heavily influenced by money.... could it be the same of him too - or is someone he loves being held hostage somewhere???!!

Seriously, to perform such a volte face with no (alleged) data to back him up just undermines his credibility - but it will not alter my views, which are not based on following a person like a sheep, but on looking at the worlds peer reviewed studies!

Sunday December 9, 2012, 12:29 am

Sunday December 9, 2012, 2:39 am
Didn't know anything about this Dr. Oz until this article. Clever writing.
Oz sold out is as simple as that. As far as TIME magazine goes, that is just it... It goes...
TIME magazine is worth reading anymore and has not been worth reading for a long time.

The vote recount is still going on in California.
Now, there are votes "missing"...

Monsanto spent about 50 million dollars to defeat the labeling proposition 37.
What is in our foods? We have a right to know!
In Monsanto's advertising, the company blatantlylied!

Europe and other countries do not have GMO's in their country.

Monsanto has people in the USDA and in the FDA as well.
They are in there to help direct and promote their crappy and poisonous products.
And to sell tons of insecticides.

Monsanto has been on the top ten worst companies on Earth for years.

We do not to get the pesticides out of the foods as well as the gmo's we should be concentrating on both, as well as the factory farms. I agree, for many people who are struggling just to eat, eating organic and paying the extra is hard for many to do. Also in the cities many people can't even find fresh veggies and fruit no matter what they are organic or not.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 6:31 am

Can they afford organic foods ??

Sunday December 9, 2012, 6:45 am
Thanks Vincenzo. I read about his lame turn around comments....organics being for the elite and the 99% not being able to afford them...and he could afford safe, gourmet food. Rather like rubbing salt in a wound I'd say...thanks doc! I have never watched his program as I have little use for the medical profession but I did catch a segment online that one of my Reiki instructors sent me....as he had a Reiki master on his show...and also said that his wife was a Reiki master. For those reasons my opinion of him improved over how I feel about doctors in general. Now I not only have no respect for him as an MD, but none as a human being either.

Apparently everyone is for sale - I never trust anyone who claims to have all the answers so I have never paid a lot of attention to the Great Oz anyway. None at all now, except to think even less of him.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 7:12 am
I have never been an Dr. Oz worshipper anyway.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 7:13 am
I understand the affordability predicament. We've all had to make that choice at the market, and sadly it is heavily influenced by the pocket. The important point here is being aware of these issues, being united as a 99% that doesn't drink cool-aid anymore, we'll surely be a 99% that will change the world. In a not so distant future, children raised with this conscious mentality will be the ones making policy! One day, we won't have to worry where the wind is blowing because all the crops will be sustainable, organic, non gmo, and free from chemicals. "You might say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one"

Sunday December 9, 2012, 7:23 am
Dr. Oz is a corporate pimp. Watched his show once and found him to annoying for me. He is just the same as Dr. Phil. Hacks of the t.v. screen.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 7:48 am
"If you think organic food is expensive, have you priced cancer lately." words to live by from Joel Salatin, founder Polyface farms.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 8:00 am

I have signed the petition at Dandelion's site. I watch very little TV so I don't know much about this celebrity, but as such he apparently has far more interest in his own ability to influence than having a positive influence. I think it is unfortunate that people turn to a TV celebrity for their education about food or well-being, than the many actual books or articles available to any one willing to spent a some time examining the information. At this point, how can anyone trust in corporate interest over human interest?

Thanks for a interesting article, now I will look up this person. Friends have mentioned his name but it means little to me.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 8:06 am
Noted. Very scary when he says one thing on his show like - eat only organic celery the regular kind is too full of pesticides --- then something opposite somewhere else. We all carry pesticides in our blood and then wonder why we all end up with cancer of one kind or another. I have lost all respect for him now.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 8:09 am
Oz's shift is really strange. I don't watch him, but I did tune in when he was on Oprah, and I found him very informative. This is a little disconcerting concerning his reasons for his change of mind.

I have two words for this slut and he can have them translated into any language he prefers. Who owns the NY Times? There are six multinational conglomerates that own 90% of the world's riches and resources. The good old doc has been bought and paid for. I'll stick with listening to Drs. Mercola, Connealy and Sears thank you.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 11:04 am
I stopped listening to Dr. Oz a couple of years ago when it became evident that his celebrity status had gone to his head. Concerning organics vs non-organics, it was NEVER about the 'difference' in nutritional value. At least for me it has always been about the pesticides, growth hormones, and the inhumane treatment of factory farm animals. The only way in which this has become an issue of class is because organics are so much more expensive that their purchase is often not possible for some families. Not that they don't WANT to purchase better food. Simply because their financial situation doesn't allow it. It's easy to say 'just spend less money on something else,' but some families are already stretched to the limit and providing ANY food for themselves and their children is the best they can do. Implying that people should not purchase organics because it's 'elitist' to do so is the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard.

Thanks to Dandelion for posting the link--I signed something like this not too long ago, and I remember the email from Alliance for Natural Health right after Prop 37 was defeated. Among all the other dirty tricks the pro-GMO group pulled, there was something about a mailing that included the FDA's logo, fabricating a quote from the FDA.

Sunday December 9, 2012, 1:41 pm
Basically, Dr Oz stated that Organic foods are great if one can afford to purchase them, but, the difference in cost is not "Democratic". Well, the exorbitant medical costs for effects from meat eating, obesity, pesticide ingestion, diabetes, cancers must be taken into account here, along with the infusion of toxins into virtually every element on this Earth Mother that is destroying life everywhere. The attitude and ignorance of humans also is a major factor. We simply MUST COMMUNICATE OUR INTELLIGENCE and WISDOM WITH OUR $$$$ and refuse to purchase anything that harms sentient life and contributes to the pollution and corruption of this planet. Corporations that damage will fold, and organic produce will be the only survivor, and will not be more expensive in the end if we all just join together and purchase EXCLUSIVELY the organics. Also, if we CONSUME LESS to begin with, organic does not cost more. We waste money whenever we purchase junk, flesh from animals, and eat too much!

Sunday December 9, 2012, 2:01 pm
Proud elitist....I rather minimize the exposure to poison (pesticides) to my family and our home (earth)

Sunday December 9, 2012, 2:29 pm

I grow organic herbs, figs, basil, veggies and more on our organic farm. I purchase organic when I can and by local when I can. The price of organic is not much. Just the seeds or plant.

I saw this about "Dr Oz".

On the Bright Side, Kaiser Permanente came out last week and stated that (sic), "Avoiding GMO food is one of the best things you can do for your health". Apparently they are down with real facts, and don't feel their system will be able to handle the illness' those foods cause.

Did Oz really sell out or have recent independant reliable and replicable studies showing that there are NO significant differences in nutritional value between organic and non-organic foods. Or could it be the studies that have shown that only 30% of "Organic " foods are actually pesticide residue free. Sorry but I am neither willing or able to pay 2-4 X the price and often more, for example why pay $4.99/pound for Roma Tomatoes when I can get them for $.84/pound that is a 5.9X price hike, for a label on foods when there is absolutely no value added to justify the price.

Monday December 10, 2012, 6:40 am
P.S. I have always considered OZ an idiot with an unjustified reputaion created by the media.

Monday December 10, 2012, 8:39 am
To our great misfortune to the law of the lion is doing the ignorance of the consumer or the low information implanted in our minds by the media to guide our purchases.
I have a dear friend in Italy who practices organic farming 100%, but this due to mutations of insects, pests and diseases (caused by agents chimnici that humans normally use) the remaining healthy for sale is about 20% of the product
This happens in Italy, but I think this is a global problem, environmentally friendly product must cost much more, if it has been cultivated in full respect of ecology, if this does not happen because someone is trying to sell products with the only adding of a sticker ecological brand and a major illicit gain.
Then about the university there really not be trusted, the projects are fully funded by industries / manufacturers, they do not want to know the truth to their consumers about the results of their productions.
And how can industri trying to change the cards on the table, Mr OZ is a common testimonial
Advice from a dear friend who have a farmer as a true friend?
Check that the product is actually environmentally friendly, be careful buy only this.

Consumers are becoming more aware of the chemicals and scientific research about chemicals placed into their foods finally, and now the greedy corporations are starting to get scared because they can feel it in their pockets. I believe at the end of the day an educated, well informed consumer will have the final determination to judge which one is better for their health: the organic, non-processed way. The greedy corporations are doing everything they can, but really... who can dispute all the piling research studies on chemicals being put into foods?

Study Confirms Dangers of GMO Foods:
http://www.wholehealthinsider.com/general-health/study-confirms-dangers-of-gmo-foods/

Wednesday February 13, 2013, 3:48 pm
I never read Time because it distorts everything. From what I read on Dr. Oz's blog dated 12/03/2012, I think the article must have been either selectively edited by Time or misread and/or misquoted. Dr. Oz has many times, recently, stated organic is better, but may not be affordable or easily accessed. He has listed organic foods that must be bought to minimize pesticides, and what foods have little or no pesticides, so can be okay conventional. There is canned salmon (red "sockeye" please) that is considered mercury free, and can be cheaper than fresh and more available and of course sardines There are organic options in frozen and canned goods. His blog points out that a decent, healthy diet can be obtained without the high priced gourmet shops. From the blog "In that moment I realized that the vast majority of people not only lack access and income to buy specialty organic foods, they are also simply unable to get fairly basic healthy items. I had long thought that the greatest barrier to eating healthy was cost, and that still remains a massive obstacle for most folks. But the issue of access was now crystal clear.
I needed to rethink how I was teaching America to make choices about their food. That meant teaching them to play the hand they were dealt, with cost, access and stark realities accounted for. Everyone in America, regardless of income, deserves to eat healthy and live a healthy life. However, as a physician, it would be irresponsible to recommend only gourmet or organic foods to serve this purpose. In a utopian society, this would work. However, the reality of the situation lies in the fact that I need to teach you how to make healthy choices in your local corner stores and supermarkets – instead of the fancy gourmet stores.
