Sir Simon Stevens accuses Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Lab of spreading 'myths and misinformation'.
Gwyneth Paltrow's new Netflix series poses a"considerable health risk" to the public, NHS chief executive Simon Stevens has said.
The controversial health and wellness series debuted on the streaming platform on Friday, 24 January. Mr Stevens took aim at the"dubious wellness products and dodgy procedures" featured in the series, while speaking at an academic event in Oxford on Thursday."Goop has just popped up with a new TV series, in which Gwyneth Paltrow and her team test vampire facials and back a body worker, who claims to cure both acute psychological trauma and side-effects by simply moving his hands two inches above a customer's body," said the chief executive.
"While fake news used to travel by word of mouth, and later the Caxton press, we all know that lies and misinformation can now be round the world at the touch of a button - before the truth has reached for its socks, never mind got its boots on," said Mr Stevens.
