Dr. Oz Senate Testimony, Green Coffee Bean Scam
Dr. Mehmet Oz testified before a Senate committee regarding his promotion of "miracle" weight loss supplements like green coffee bean extract.

Dr. Oz defended his statements, though he admitted the products would not pass FDA muster as pharmaceutical drugs.
