Healthcare is already at 22 percent GDP. As for Dr OZ, I have never seen him but hear he pushes canola oil also. That stuff will kill you

I don't watch him all the time, but over the years he talks about healthy eating, natural medicine and therapies MUCH more than vaccines and canola oil.

I have heard him promoting canola oil for health, but I know it's just a show for entertainment purposes, and if I can pick up a tip on food values, supplements or herbs, than that's just a plus.

One show I refuse to watch, after checking it out for a few minutes here and there, is The Doctors...now they WILL actively push vaccines and pharmaceutical meds on their show.

Yes, well... I could use a boost to my stock portfolio too... But I don't know.

Doctors all have different opinions of course. One even went as far as to say "medicine isn't an exact science"... I was all....

But I guess it's true. With advancements in medicine, we are always learning that something which was good, is now bad, something was bad is now good...

So, I don't know..

Vaccines are a whole different ball game, and there are many different kinds of vaccines. I mean, the small pox vaccine was a natural one, even though it did involve giving the person cow pox

Yikes! I missed the show about arsenic in apple juice...

I don't drink a lot of apple juice but still... That's a shocker...

Any source where you got that besides Dr. Oz for us to take a look at? Apple juice is one juice quite often given to children daily as something that is supposed to be healthy and boost the immune system....

A quick search on NatMedTalk brings up these 2 threads regarding arsenic in apple juice as warned by Dr. Oz.

I suspect it is due to pesticides in commercial orchards.

Though use of lead arsenate insecticides was banned in the U.S. in the late 1980s, arsenic does not degrade, so it still remains in the soil. “We are finding problems with some Washington state apples, not because of irresponsible farming practices now, but because lead arsenate pesticides that were used here decades ago are still in the soil. Heavy metals like lead and arsenic just don’t go away,” says Denise Wilson, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Washington who also has tested a variety of apple juices and found levels higher than drinking water standards even in brands labeled organic.
While arsenic-tainted soil in U.S. orchards is a likely source of contamination for apples grown here, the risk equation also has been changed by a major shift that has occurred over the past decade in how juice sold in America is produced. To make apple juice, manufacturers often blend water with apple juice concentrate obtained from multiple sources, and over the last decade, the concentrate they use increasingly comes from apples that are grown and processed in China.

Dr. Oz joined the ranks of the food sellouts by claiming that people who eat organic foods are "snooty" and "elitist" and even "undemocratic," as if choosing organic food is somehow anti-American. Real Americans eat pesticides and GMOs, Dr. Oz implied!

Who is behind this massive P.R. effort to destroy organics? The usual suspects, of course: All the same corporations that were behind the "No on 37" campaign. The near-victory of YES on 37 freaked them out, and they realized they cannot win the GMO labeling issue long term, so the only way to defend their territory and profits is to make healthy food seem un-cool and elitist.
