It’s time to make New Year’s resolutions about eating healthily and losing weight. But these are easier said than done and many resolutions will not survive very long.</p> Wed, 08 Jan 2020 22:45:07 +0000 Christopher Labos MD, MSc 8074 at /oss /oss/article/health-nutrition/theres-no-single-true-path-weight-loss <p> </p> <hr /> <p><em>This article was first published in</em><span> </span><a href="https://montrealgazette.com/opinion/columnists/christopher-labos-theres-no-single-true-path-to-weight-loss">The Montreal Gazette<span>.</span></a></p> Fri, 01 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000 Christopher Labos MD, MSc 7563 at /oss /oss/article/news/dr-ozs-lingo-needs-be-detoxified <p>To anyone with a scientific bent, Dr. Oz continues to be a source of amazement, amusement and frustration. His most recent foray into optimizing our health takes him down the “detox” path. It’s a treacherous path, full of pseudoscientific weeds. If we the advice of the Great Oz we can can rid our body of toxins and boost our energy levels in just three days! It worked for him, and he guarantees it will work for us. Here is the actual claim: Eliminate harmful toxins, restore your system and reset your body with this detox cleanse. All you need is 3 days, a blender and $16 a day!</p> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:46:00 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 1896 at /oss /oss/article/diets-food-health-news/dr-oz-and-fast-metabolism-diet <p>So.. Dr. Oz is at it again. This time he was fawning over Haylie Pomroy's "Fast Metabolism Diet." Haylie's qualifications are not clear but she is described as a "lifestyle counsellor." Hmmm. Wouldn't it be better to see some oomph like a nutrition, dietetics, physiology, biochemistry or medical degree behind someone who is formulating diets for the public?</p> Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:42:58 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 1906 at /oss
