For people like me who didn't know: Goop.com describes itself as "Cutting-edge wellness advice from doctors, vetted travel recommendations, and a curated shop of clean beauty, fashion, and home." The company has been the eye of many criticisms specially for lack of scientific prove of their healthcare advices https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goop_(company) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goop_(company)
- calebkaiser 6y agoThanks for this—I probably should have clarified. Goop is a psuedoscience-as-a-lifestyle brand that frequently publishes hilariously terrible medical advice under the guise of "wellness."
- pests 6y agoMany from here probably also know it from Netflix's "The Goop Lab With Gwyneth Paltrow" and the associated commentary the site has had about it in a few threads.
- tyingq 6y agoLast valuation was $250M. They've gone way beyond "lack of scientific proof" many times. Including dangerous advice like "vaginal steaming". https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/vaginal-steaming-burn-gynaecology-prolapsed-vagina-gwyneth-paltrow-a9047191.html https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families...
