Mehmet Oz's achievements include ten Emmy awards, a syndicated television show, an Ivy-League medical degree, and a relationship with Donald Trump.
Oz is running for the US Senate in Pennsylvania as a Republican and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Trump.
Oz was thrust into the spotlight once again during the COVID-19 epidemic, appearing on programs like "Fox and Friends" and serving on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition under the Trump administration.
Oz has received some praise, but he's also received a lot of controversy for pushing diet and medical treatments.
In a letter to Columbia University, 10 doctors said Oz promoted "quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain." In a study done in the British Medical Journal, it was found that Oz's health recommendations were based on evidence less than half the time.
Here are eight times Oz made false or misleading claims.
A representative for Oz didn't respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

In a February 2012 episode of his show, Oz said that the compound that gives the fruit their smell is the "No. 1 miracle in a bottle to burn your fat."
The Public Affairs Council says that one study used to justify the use of raspberry ketones as a weight-loss supplement, but that it was impossible to tell which substances actually contributed to the extra fat loss.
There was evidence supporting the compound in a test conducted on rats. The results of a test on rodents will not be the same as those on humans, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Public Affairs Council said that rats are not humans. There is not a lot of research on the effects of raspberry ketones on fat loss.

Scientific studies agree that genetically modified foods are safe.
He wrote in a Facebook post that he does not believe that genetically modified foods are dangerous, but that they should be labeled.
According to the Genetic Literacy Project, a majority of countries don't require labels.
The FDA says foods should only be labeled if they threaten health or the environment. The American Association for the advancement of science says that mandating labeling can only serve to confuse and alarm consumers.
The World Health Organization says that genetically modified foods are not likely to present risks for human health any more than their conventional counterparts.

On his show, Oz proposed to use strawberries and baking soda to whiten teeth.
The mixture may be effective at removing plaque, but it does not whiten teeth and may harm tooth health according to two studies by a University of Iowa professor.
She said that the only benefit of the do-it-yourself method is that it doesn't remove plaque from your teeth.
She said that you want something that will penetrate into your teeth and break down the stain. "If you don't have that, you get the superficial, and not the whitening from the inside, which was what you really want."
