Yes, The Goop Lab is as bad as you'd expect. Get Tab For A Cause and help support the channel by using my affiliate link:
Netflix have partnered with Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow to bring us The Goop Lab, a series in which various 'alternative therapies' are investigated. A new low for Netflix, the show uncritically presents a bunch of quackery and nonsense that at times is borderline-dangerous, and experts have called a "considerable health risk" to the public.
So of course I was all over it.
SLIGHT CORRECTION: At 28:29 I said "or even proves them harmful", when I actually meant "shows they may be harmful." The former statement is far stronger and isn't necessarily proven by the available evidence, whereas the latter statement is, and is also closer to my intended meaning.
