While delivering a speech at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford, U.K. on Thursday, National Health Service chief executive Simon Steven slammed the "dubious wellness products and dodgy procedures" showcased in the program, which features the actress exploring alternatives for a healthy lifestyle.
"Her brand peddles psychic vampire repellent, says chemical sunscreen is a bad idea, and promotes colonic irrigation and DIY coffee enema machines, despite them carrying considerable risks to health," he stated.The Goop brand has raised eyebrows in the past with its unusual items and treatments -- often at an exorbitant price -- which Steven pointed out.
"Fresh from controversies over jade eggs and unusually scented candles, Goop has just popped up with a new TV series, in which Gwyneth Paltrow and her team test vampire facials and back a 'bodyworker' who claims to cure both acute psychological trauma and side effects by simply moving his hands two inches above a customer's body," he said.
Steven noted his concerns over "myths and misinformation" being spread more rapidly now with the internet, which is a breeding ground for "fake news." "People's natural concern for their health, and particularly that of their loved ones, makes this particularly fertile ground for quacks, charlatans, and cranks," he explained.
