Tell Dr Oz to Stop Promoting Palm Oil!

Is Dr. Oz Shilling for the Malaysian Palm Oil Mafia?

Is it purely coincidence that Dr. Oz and his wingman Bryce Wylde are promoting palm oil to the American public just as the Malaysian Palm Oil Council's aggressive PR campaign and financially backed lobby muscle try to influence the American public and sway the EPA's big decision on palm oil? Hmmmm...... You be the judge....   Check out the latest RAN blog post to learn more. Also be sure to take a look at the feature article on Dr. Oz in the New Yorker magazine titled "The Operator: Is the most trusted doctor in America doing more harm than good?"

Be sure to let Dr Oz know what you think about his promoting palm oil-- the greatest threat to the survival of orangutans in the wild....

Here's another little reminder of why we are doing this!

Thanks for your support!

Hello!

Thanks to the 14,430 (and counting) of you who signed our petition with RAN, Dr. Oz has begun to tell his viewers the full story about palm oil on his blog.  

But he hasn't done enough. According to news reports, Dr. Oz's enthusiastic support for red palm oil inspired a buying frenzy. We have to keep up the pressure and push Dr. Oz to correct the enormity of his error by issuing a retraction on The Dr. Oz Show.

http://ran.org/act/dr-oz/

The Dr. Oz Show airs in 188 countries around the world and currently ranks as one of the highest-rated daytime programs in recent history, so getting any response from Dr. Oz is a big success. But it's imperative that he fill his viewers in on the disastrous environmental impact of palm oil production, which is devastating the rainforests of Indonesia and driving endangered species like the orangutan to extinction.

Can you please send a message to Dr. Oz telling him to issue a correction about palm oil ON THE AIR?  http://ran.org/act/dr-oz/

Even if you've signed this petition already, you can sign again.  RAN has tweaked the language to include our demand that Dr. Oz issue a retraction on his show, not just on his little-read blog.  

This International Business Times headline says it all: "Red Palm Oil Touted By Dr. Oz As A Diet Miracle Could Lead To 'War On Orangutans'."  Please sign (or re-sign!) the petition to Dr. Oz now.
