Paltrow Settles Lawsuit Over Eggs...
September 22, 2018 at 8:49 pm
Paltrow's company has agreed to pay AUD$202,000 in civil penalties for selling some products "whose advertised
medical claims were not supported by competent and reliable science".
This isn't the first time Goop has drawn negative attention for dubious health claims about its serums, vitamins,
crystals, "detox" regimens and other products. The nonprofit Truth in Advertising has documented more than
50 examples of Goop claiming that the products it sells or promotes "can treat, cure, prevent, alleviate the symptoms
of, or reduce the risk of developing a number of ailments, ranging from depression, anxiety, and insomnia, to
infertility, uterine prolapse, and arthritis, just to name a few".
Goop settles lawsuit over purported benefits of jade eggs
As for the recommendation that women sleep with a jade egg in their vaginas, a US gynecologist pointed out that
jade is porous—which could allow bacteria to get inside and so the egg could act as a fomite (any nonliving object
or substance capable of carrying infectious organisms) and could be a risk factor for bacterial vaginosis or even the
potentially deadly toxic shock syndrome.
Paltrow's snake-oil company needs to be shut down. And sooner better than later.

Have you visited her website? I did, for kicks. Now she has to label her jars of nothing “potion”. Lol
What a douche. And anybody who spends money on a pebble to put up her hoohah deserves what they get, IMO. Gwinnie and her customers deserve each other.

Goop?
Didn't know they did vaginas, too.

Instead of laying an egg women are shoving it up their twats. Although, I gotta say Ben Wa balls, which are an old Chinese sex toy, are not that different than the Paltrow egg thingy except they're much smaller and come in a pack of three. Ben Wa balls kinda bop around inside the vigina and give women a little thrill now and again. Not that I would know anything about that. Noooo, not me.

Now they need to go after churches and faith "healers" who make similar claims of healing and miracles.

If you stick a rock up your snootch you deserve the yeast infection prolly.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It truly is amazing.
Fifty doctors can tell people it's bad for them, but since it's endorsed by a "celebrity" people will do it anyway.
Wonder if I can convince someone really famous to tell rapists that a knife through the heart is actually a good thing, especially if self administered...?
