Description: 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: tab.gladly.io/cynical 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. ----FURTHER READING AND LINKS---- Arstechnica's Review (which I am particularly indebted to) - arstechnica.com/science/2020/01/goops-netflix-series-its-so-much-worse-than-i-expected-and-i-cant-unsee-it Goop violating court order - arstechnica.com/science/2020/02/goop-violating-court-order-with-yet-more-bogus-health-claims-watchdog-says NHS England chief executive slams Goop Lap - bbc.co.uk/news/health-51312441 Magic Mushrooms and Depression - arstechnica.com/science/2016/05/for-treatment-resistant-depression-magic-mushroom-drug-holds-promise Goop agrees to pay $145,000 in vagina egg lawsuit - bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45426332 Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment (BBC) - youtu.be/Q1YqgPAtzho Study of Cold Exposure on Hof Brothers - journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0101653 Reported Deaths from the Wim Hof Method - parool.nl/nieuws/iceman-oefening-eist-opnieuw-leven~bd0a4600 Emily Rosa's Theraputic Touch test - youtu.be/mNoRxCRJ-Y0 ----LINKS---- PATREON - patreon.com/CynicalReviews CHANNEL MEMBERSHIPS - youtube.com/channel/UC1DCPS2j-o0bvfIilkc8RSw/join TWITTER - twitter.com/Cynical_CJ DISCORD - discord.gg/cynicalreviews OFFICIAL SUBREDDIT - reddit.com/r/Cynical_Reviews INSTAGRAM - instagram.com/cynicalcj FACEBOOK - facebook.com/CynicalCJ SECOND CHANNEL - youtube.com/channel/UCn3MSpJHCiEETin9AdLJHWA Thumbnail by Cynic Snacks - youtube.com/channel/UCFKIgvMmcJtxTS9pdpCFwfg Extra audio editing by GamePlayMetal - youtube.com/user/GamePlayMetal Character stills by Sketchadoodel - instagram.com/sketchadoodel ----Music Credits---- Kevin MacLeod - “Shaving Mirror” and "Hep Cats" (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License. #thegooplap #goop #cynicalreviews #netflix #pseudoscience
