NASA calls out healing stickers backed by Gwyneth Paltrows blog

http://wgntv.com/2017/06/26/nasa-debunks-gwyneth-paltrows-latest-claim/

NEW YORK -- Gwyneth Paltrow, we have a problem.

NASA just called out Goop, the movie star's lifestyle brand, over wearable healing stickers that it promoted on its website.

In a post on Thursday, Goop said that the stickers, which are sold by a group called Body Vibes, are "made with the same conductive carbon material NASA uses to line space suits so they can monitor an astronaut's vitals during wear."

The wearables, which cost about $60 for a pack of 10, come "pre-programmed to an ideal frequency" and "promote healing" by tackling "imbalances," the website claimed.

But NASA told CNNMoney it doesn't use carbon material to line its suits, and its current spacesuit has no carbon fibers in it at all.

I mean, not even garden-variety woo.

This is some tired-ass woo that can't even get out of bed and pull its sweat pants and t-shirt on.

Come on, guys, can't you at least come up with something exotic and crystalline from Tibet or Macchu Picchu?
