The chief executive of Britain's National Health Service (NHS), Simon Stevens, reportedly said Gwyneth Paltrow's Netflix show, 'the Goop Lab,' pushes 'dubious wellness products and dodgy procedures.'

Simon Stevens reportedly said Paltrow's show was spreading "misinformation."The chief executive of Britain's National Health Service , Simon Stevens, reportedly said Gwyneth Paltrow's Netflix show, "the Goop Lab," pushes "dubious wellness products and dodgy procedures."

The documentary series, which premiered on Netflix on January 24, follows Paltrow and the team at her wellness brand Goop, exploring experimental health trends such as psychedelic therapy and energy "exorcisms."He argued Paltrow's 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.

Netflix responded to CNBC by highlighting that each episode opens with a medical advisory card which says the series is designed to "entertain and inform — not provide medical advice." A spokesperson for Goop wasn't immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC. This isn't the first time Goop has caused controversy, in 2018 the brand settled a $145,000 lawsuit over the health claims it made about using vaginal jade eggs.

Can she just be Pepper Potts and not Gwyneth Paltrow? I will like her much better that way.

'spokeswoman for Goop told the BBC that it was “transparent when we cover emerging topics that may be unsupported by science' If you are 'transparent' when you lie/cheat, you r absorbed of any moral or ethical issues then? Dump responsibility on consumers if they fall for trick?

‘Under fire’ hahahahaha
