Dr. Oz introduced rice bran oil to replace other oils today. He also dispelled a few food myths, the best of which was about caloric intake.
While Dr. Oz was lost in the 1980’s with bee pollen, yeast, and nettle tea, he finally mentioned sea vegetables, purslane, jicama, the ugli citrus fruit, and black garlic. He has a long way to go, but he’s on the right track.

He really needs mario Batali to explain about the amount of gravy and condiment to blend with a pasta dish. The way you use aged cheeses and vegetables can add to the health of the pasta dish. Salads, greens, and side dishes round out the healthy meal. Too many people eat only a bowl of pasta…
