The caption states: “Canadian researchers analyzed 40 episodes of ‘The Dr. Oz Show’ and found that nearly 40% of the medical advice presented lacked a scientific basis, while 15% directly contradicted existing medical evidence.”

Fact-Check Analysis:

A study published in The BMJ in 2014 evaluated 40 episodes of “The Dr. Oz Show” and found that:

• 46% of the recommendations were supported by evidence.
• 15% were contradicted by evidence.
• 39% lacked evidence.

These findings align closely with the caption’s claim, indicating that approximately 40% of the advice lacked scientific backing, and 15% contradicted existing evidence. 

Conclusion:

The caption accurately reflects the study’s findings regarding the scientific validity of medical advice presented on “The Dr. Oz Show.”
