Paltrow has no credibility. Look up “goop”. She is a shill for snake oil crap.

I'm aware, but it doesn't change the parallel of them bringing in a celebrity to massage their image to their target demo.

Ah, glad you are aware. Others should be too. Her particular version of snake oil is not only predatory, but also dangerous to women and their health.

They also likely chose her because she’s the Coldplay vocalist’s ex.
