NO-NO Foods heavy on sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, enriched white flour and hydrogenated oils should be avoided at all costs, says Dr. Oz.
Here are four ingredients
that he says you should stop consuming immediately: Sugar. If it’s one of the fi rst fi ve listed ingredients in what you are buying, “it’s a no-no,” the doctor said on TV. High-fructose corn syrup. This sweetener made from corn starch is quickly absorbed by the liver and converted to fat. It blocks a chemical that helps tell your brain you’re
full, says Dr. Oz, and that will cause you to overeat. Enriched white fl our. “The rea- son they enrich it is because they already stripped out anything that’s worth a darn, and they add a little bit back, so it doesn’t look so bad,” Dr. Oz told Oprah Winfrey, and stressed that people should be eating whole-grain breads. Hydrogenated oils (trans fats). Though some occur natu-
rally, most trans fats come from manufacturers adding hydrogen to vegetable oils, usually to extend shelf life in processed foods. These par- tially hydrogenated oils are terrible for heart health. Get rid of anything in your pan- try with hydrogenated oil on the label, Dr. Oz advises.

Dr. Oz: Never Afraid of Controversy Continued from page 53 A cardiothoracic surgeon and vocal
proponent of alternative medicine, Dr. Oz continues to perform surgeries one day per week. He is still a professor at Columbia University and director of its Integrative Medicine Center. Aff ectionately known as “America’s
Doctor,” he is not immune to controversy. On his syndicated TV show, he has featured discredited research claiming that genetically modified foods are harmful to humans and that there are dangerous levels of arsenic in apple juice;

he has brought anti-vaccine advocates and gay reparative therapy advocates on the show — moves that have incensed critics.
Then there was the famous scandal in
which Dr. Oz touted the magical benefits of weight-loss pills made from green coff ee extract. In 2014, he was called before the Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and scolded for extolling weight-loss products on his show that aren’t backed by legitimate scientific evidence.
That same year, a study in the BMJ found that scientific evidence supported
only 46 percent of the recommendations that were made on 40 randomly selected episodes of The Dr. Oz Show. Despite these low points, Dr. Oz has
picked himself up, dusted himself off , and continued to broaden his extensive fan base. He doesn’t fear criticism or shy away from addressing subjects he knows will evoke controversy. In fact, he enjoys shaking up the status
quo. “If you’re saying things that matter,” he recently told a writer from Success magazine, “some people are going to be upset by the change that’s being driven. I’m in the change business.”
