Safflower Oil- Dr. Oz recommends it, but should you use it?

In Woman's World this week, Dr. Oz's mug has invaded their front page, AGAIN. It seems like he is always on FIRST magazine's cover, and sometimes, I would just love to see other weight loss experts advice, diets, and tips on the cover for a change. Does he do these interviews for free publicity, or what?

Anyhow, Woman's World has Dr. Oz this week recommending Safflower Oil as a way to help lose weight. The article is a bit misleading, though. First it tells you that you can lose belly fat just by taking one teaspoon of Safflower Oil twice a day, once with breakfast, and once with dinner, and that's all that you have to do, and you will lose up to up to 6 pounds and 5 inches a week without dieting or working out, according to the cover. However, read the article, and in a little box, fourth one to be exact under the "Safflower FAQs" section, the question says "Can I skip diet and exercise?" to which Dr. Oz replies: "Let me be clear on this, I want you to exercise and eat smart". Well, duh, did we really think that we were just going to take two teaspoons of Safflower Oil a day and be thin and lose over 150 pounds within a year doing nothing? However, the article basically says that! Misleading, huh?

Now, for those reading- go to Dr. Oz's website. He says nothing about Safflower Oil, nothing about trying it, and there are two articles on his site that either debunk this or discourage it. Looks like Woman's World and Dr. Oz aren't in sync with one another on this story. Also, if you're allergic to daisies, then it's best not to take Safflower Oil. Read up on it before trying.
