Audio Surfaces of Dr. Oz Saying Some Incest Is Okay, and Also His Daughters Don't Like How He Smells

In a resurfaced audio clip, Mehmet Oz says that some incest is fine and that his daughters hate his pheromones.

The cursed soundbite is from a radio show in 2004. One of the crowd-sourced questions that was asked of Oprah was a doozy.

Do you know if this is safe for this person? It was Yee who said Oz. He said he couldn't stop hitting his cousin.

She's in her 20s and she still wants it. I always give it to her even if I want to stop. Yee asked for help. What would you tell that person?

It doesn't seem like this person is asking for biological advice They want emotional support. This is not a medical question. They didn't feel like they were asking if what they were doing was ok on reproductive or genetic grounds.

Oz gave advice that seemed to miss all the nuances.

Oz said it's not a big problem if you are more than a first cousin away.

He said that every family has genetic strengths and weaknesses. The reason we crave people who aren't like us is because you mix the genes up a bit so that if I have one gene for, I bleed a lot.

Oz is technically correct. Many still accept second-cousin marriages despite the fact that immediate- family incest is taboo. In a lot of places, first-cousin marriage is still legal, even though the biological risk to any future children is very high.

Oprah's Biggest Mistake didn't address the psychological and sociological core of the question, which is interesting as he's weighed in with emotional and mental health advice in the past. Instead, he replied "it's whatever", and then, for some reason, decided to think about incest.

Children and girls don't like their fathers smell. He said that their pheromones would repel their daughters because they weren't supposed to be together. My girls don't like my smell.

He said that women want men who smell different from their families.

It's great. It's cool. It's a good thing to know.

We don't want this to be relevant, but it is. Incest has come up a lot lately, not in the context of whether it's a good idea to "smash" one's cousin, but as a factor regarding exceptions for abortion bans.

Oz's history of promoting false, misleading, or otherwise empty or damaging medical advice to his millions of devotees has been called into question by a study published in The British Medical Journal in the same year that the Breakfast Club interview aired. He advocated that citizens take hydroxychloroquine to fight the illness, as well as calling Anthony Fauci a "petty tyrant" on his campaign trail.

Please don't listen to Dr. Oz. A lot of doctors have signed letters asking the public to dump him. Oprah says she made a mistake.

His daughters say he stinks. That could be the reason.

Dr. Oz is on Incest: more than first cousin. It's not a big problem. The person said, "Jezebel."

The campaign of Dr. Oz was criticized for making fun of stroke sufferers.
