One look at a smoker's lung would cause any sane person to quit on the spot! At his break out session, he presented “Comparing Our Anatomy - Where is the Meat?” by holding a touch and tell show with the organs and letting the audience ask questions. Women gathered around Dr. Oz to see first hand how our body works. Later, they had the opportunity to purchase his best selling book, "You, The Owner's Manual" co-authored with Dr. Mike Roizen.
