Dear Gwyneth: Your Goop ‘energy stickers’ are not made with NASA material — NASA
Washington Post ^ | Lindsey Bever

Posted on 06/23/2017 7:29:04 PM PDT by BenLurkin

“Human bodies operate at an ideal energetic frequency, but everyday stresses and anxiety can throw off our internal balance, depleting our energy reserves and weakening our immune systems,” Goop said.

Body Vibes claims the stickers create a “calming effect” that alleviates “physical tension and anxiety.” The company also says they help clear skin.

The stickers are sold in packages of 10 for $60 or 24 for $120.

...

NASA spokeswoman Tabatha Thompson told The Washington Post on Friday that, actually, NASA does not use carbon fiber anywhere in the spacesuits.

It appeared by Friday morning that Goop had removed the reference to NASA materials from the product description on its website. Internet archives showed that the page had been edited both on Thursday and Friday.

...

“We never intended to mislead anyone,” the company said in a statement. “We have learned that our engineer was misinformed by a distributor about the material in question, which was purchased for its unique specifications. We regret not doing our due diligence before including the distributor’s information in the story of our product.”

Why doesn’t the press ever talk about people like Paltrow take advantage of the poorer less educated people who fall for this crap?

Yeah, you know why.

So Goop is not made by NASA material. Big whoop (goop whoop). Snake oil? Maybe. Lay off of her NASA. At least she’s not telling us that the world is being destroyed by Global Warming like most of you are. Talk about snake oil...sheesh.

Body Vibes has been caught with their pants down. They are a scam health operator that dupes susceptible suckers into buying their high priced junk. That Gwyneth Paltrow falls for this scam shows how these Hollywood icons fall for anything, including the Democrat Party.

She “consciously uncoupled” from her (now ex-) husband a couple years ago, and soon after, from reality.

Yeah, but it's high-end snake oil.

No, I don't and, yes, she does.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Lance Bass Urge Action on Climate Crises at Environmental Media Association Awards

“I really realize what [Danner] meant by having responsibility to the next generation and we’re at a critical point. All of us should know that,” Paltrow said. “The decisions that are being made imminently are literally going to determine our fate, and it’s up us to do what we can to do.”

She’s not terribly bright, but she is pretty.
