More trouble in Oz: Wikileaks reveal beleaguered doc promotes products based on ‘business synergy’

Last week, WikiLeaks released a series of emails sent between Dr. Oz, his staff, and executives at Sony (one of his show’s producers). They shed some light on how Dr. Oz’s daily talk show works behind the scenes.

The GLP aggregated and excerpted this blog/article to reflect the variety of news, opinion and analysis. Read full, original post: New WikiLeaks documents reveal the inner workings of the Dr. Oz Show
