0.75

If this is science, I’m Judas. Or Lucifer. This is science dressed up as self-help, specializing in the demonization of things that shouldn’t be demonized, and also let’s ignore the fact that not everyone has access to the bs spouted here. Ffs.

That said? The 0.75 comes from the bits focused on the outerworlds beyond the US towards the end. That was cool. Worth reading/buying this book for? Debatable. If I’d bought I’d want my money back, so make of that what you will.

Surprisingly “conservative” advice and info considering Paltrow’s and Goop’s history. 

Never thought I’d use the word conservative in a positive manner or say anything nice of this brand (remarkable how little they gawked their own stuff too), but here we are.

Worth reading for the (mostly) neutral, solid health information especially.
