Back to my original question: From what I saw Oz wasn't making and weight loss claims. He was claiming the extract converted fat to glucose and so reduced the amount of fat in the body. By reducing the amount of fat a person would start "thinkin lean" and become more active. Being more active would bring weight loss and better health. The claim was 100mg/day was the same as eating 90# of rasberries. And yes, he was talking about extract not juice.
Raspberry extract is just another snake oil solution to a problem that simply requires recognition of the doctrine that weight loss comes from expending more energy than is consumed.
