sarahsweets - how infuriating! I'm still not sure whether Gwyneth believes the rubbish GOOP sells works, or if she's genuinely an unethical charlatan, but I'm leaning towards the latter. The last thing she needs is a larger platform than she already commands! Good idea, spreading the word & raising awareness about GOOP's dangerous brand of expensive pseudoscience.
Apparently Netflix is pretty well-known for giving a platform to pseudoscience & quackery:
Think Goop is bad? It'''s only the tip of Netflix'''s pseudoscience iceberg | WIRED UK.
There's a petition calling on Netflix to stop airing it, here, if anyone's interested in signing it:
Petition * Remove Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Goop from Netflix. Pseudoscience shall have no place on Netflix. * Change.org.

TishaBuv: Lucky you! Stephen Colbert has a bunch of YouTube videos that satirise GOOP's pseudoscience hilariously, if you want to check it out without risking exposure to the snake-oil they sell directly. Dr Jen Gunter's blog is another great way to find out exactly how ludicrous, ill-informed, & dangerous GOOP is, so you can help spread the word to other women, without giving Gwyneth your attention directly:
Dr. Jen Gunter.
Speaking of Dr Jen, she's apparently got a TV show now, too! It's airing on CBC Gem, & doesn't seem to be available online anywhere I could find yet, but you can view the promo for it, here:
