Dr. Oz is not exactly known for promoting sound science on his show. If you want some hardcore science, there's plenty of research on the "active ingredient," HCA, and the bottom line is that it doesn't do anything more than a placebo does.

FWIW, a 2005 study on lab rats did show weight loss... as well as testicular atrophy and toxicity. Fun!
