Answer
Dr. Oz is a celebudoc and a part-time quack who peddles questionable health information to the public for his own personal gain, his selfcentric need for the limelight, and his kooky dabbling in pseudoscience. A highly credentialed and lauded physcian/surgeon, Dr. Oz is the worst kind of information source because he promotes both good and bad information in equal measure making it all but impossible for his audience to separate the fact from the fiction and, thereby, leaving them to conclude that much of his quackery is in fact truth. The painful results has been hordes of people spending their hard earned money on hopeless remedies and tonics such as acai berries, respberry ketones, green tea, and African mango extracts.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of experts who are speaking out about his quackery
Ref: http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/jref-news/1260-pigasus-2011.html
"The Media Pigasus Award goes to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has done such a disservice to his TV viewers by promoting quack medical practices that he is now the first person to win a Pigasus two years in a row. Dr. Oz is a Harvard-educated cardiac physician who, through his syndicated TV show, has promoted faith healing, "energy medicine," and other quack theories that have no scientific basis. Oz has appeared on ABC News to give legitimacy to the claims of Brazilian faith healer âJohn of God,â who uses old carnival tricks to take money from the seriously ill. He's hosted Ayurvedic guru Yogi Cameron on his show to promote nonsense "tongue examination" as a way of diagnosing health problems. This year, he really went off the deep end. In March 2011, Dr. Oz endorsed "psychic" huckster and past Pigasus winner John Edward, who pretends to talk to dead people. Oz even suggested that bereaved families should visit psychic mediums to receive (faked) messages from their dead relatives as a form of grief counseling."

Note the excerpt: "Dr. Mehmet Oz is a huge promoter of vaccines. Heâs been on television reinforcing fear about H1N1 swine flu and telling everyone to get vaccinated. But what he didnât tell his viewing audience is that he holds 150,000 option shares in a vaccine company that could earn him millions of dollars in profits as the stock price rises. It is in Dr. Ozâs own financial interest, in other words, to hype up vaccines and get more people taking them so that his own financial investments rise in value."
Ref: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/for-shame-dr-oz/
"So what has led me to conclude that Iâve finally completely had it with Dr. Oz? Or, as Popeye would say, âIâve had all I can stands, I canât stands no more!â"

If you need health information, don't waste time with Dr. Oz. So, I guess my answer would be "No."

Answer
It's a scam. It doesn't work.
RK is has not been proven in any scientific studies to be efficacious in humans. The active ingredient, 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one, is not known to have the effect Dr. Oz stated and the side effects of RK on humans when taken orally as a supplement are not established or well understood. Hence, people with fat issues, should do as the best minds in nutrition and health on the planet, the US National Institute of Health, have been recommending for decades and avoid all supplements unless recommended by a health care professional.
When it is proven that 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one is efficacious and safe for humans, you will see Big Pharma producing it in a prescription-only oral form and, of course, that will be followed by national advertising in mass media...something you don't see now because scammers can't afford serious ad campaigns and are stuck with the cheap "reach" of the internet. There's considerable profit to be made. In the mean time, the best option for the average person with fat issues is proper eating, plain & simple. Just as with acai, the buying public will eventually learn RK is no panacea for fat problems, the mania will subside, and we'll be waiting for the next big fat loss supplement that doesn't work to come along.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_ketone
"Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, there is no clinical evidence for this effect in humans.[11] Nutritional supplement manufacturer Andrew Lessman criticized and countered sensationalized media and marketing claims about raspberry ketoneâs purported weight-loss benefits and strongly cautioned against its use.[12]"
