Yes, these items Paltrow is selling on her 'Goop' website are really weird. They are not just weird though but they can actually be very dangerous to those who believe they actually work and will help them change their lives. These products are not proven by science one bit. In fact, medical professionals have been asked over-and-over again to check these products over and to let everyone know they are not just fake items that are not backed up by science, but to make everyone understand the fact that these items are actually dangerous.

Not only this but they are very expensive, to say the least.

According to a report by WebMD, there was a lawsuit against Paltrow and her business that stated that many of Paltrow's ways of advertising about the products she sells on her Goop website were all made with false claims and therefore she was falsely advertising her business and products.

Many of her critics have also called her out for the rather expensive price tag on these products. They argue the point that this is a form of exploitation. In other words, doing whatever she can and selling whatever she can, no matter how dangerous the products are, just for the money.

Now, she has a [new show called, 'The Goop Lab' that premiered on Netflix) in January. The show promotes a whole team of adventurous people who are supposedly not afraid to try or do anything in the name of health.

As one of Paltrow's employees said about the whole team, "What we try to do at Goop is explore ideas that might seem out there or too scary."

In fact, to let you know more about how controversial this show is and her business, website, and products she sells in the first place, during the first episode of 'The Goop Lab' on Netflix, many of her team members took a bunch of mushrooms in Jamaica so they could participate in a so-called therapeutic experience for the show and the business.

Once the episode showed them doing this, the camera showed Paltrow admitting to actually taking the drug, MDMA with her then-boyfriend, now-husband, Brad Falchuk. She experimented with the drug during a trip they took to Mexico. Paltrow said about the experience she had after taking it, "It was a very, very emotional experience. Being the person that people perceive me to be is inherently traumatic.”

Not only do people hate and feel outraged about the products on Paltrow's Goop website, but everyone actually hates her too. Why does everyone hate her so much? For one thing, they think she likes to flaunt her wealth and throw it in everyone's face as if to say that she is and always will be better than everyone because of her money and fame.

Everyone also thinks Paltrow is full of herself. In fact, according to US Weekly, she was once told, allegedly, by a friend of hers that she had the "butt of a 22-year-old stripper."

Not only this but because People Magazine named her the 'Most beautiful woman in the world' it seems to have gone straight to her head. Yeah, she now thinks she is the most beautiful woman in the world and can do no wrong.

Many people also think she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. This is because her dad was a television producer and her mother was an actress, meaning they already had money when she was growing up. The same people who claim she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth also claim she never had to worry about money because her parents were worth a fortune. They think it was with her parent's help and the help of their money, that helped her get into acting.
