[Half of Dr. Oz’s medical advice is baseless or wrong, study says - The Washington Post](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/12/19/half-of-dr-ozs-medical-advice-is-baseless-or-wrong-study-says/)

I remember my GF talking about a paper that she made regarding this subject (health advice on television). Can ask her to provide me the abstract so that interested people can contact her personally.

EDIT: It seems she wants to post it to a journal herself, so cannot say too much about it. She did tell me that those channels are indeed emitting bullshit.
