The talkshow show host came under fire after US publication Newsweek alleged that the series features unproven and controversial health practices, E! reports.
The article in question singled out guest Jenny McCarthy for an on air discussion about her six-year-old son Evan’s autism and the anti-vaccination stance she has taken against fighting the development disorder.
Winfrey maintained that viewers are "smart and discerning enough to seek out medical opinions to determine what may be best for them".
