After launching salads and chicken, Paltrow wanted to try pasta and pizza. Goop Superfina features 10 different square pizzas on the menu, and four different types of pasta. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderChef Floresca told Vanity Fair that Paltrow has the final say on Goop's tasting panel, and it took a year for the company to develop the gluten-free pizza dough for Goop Superfina. The menu also features four different types of pasta, sides of broccoli or meatballs, and a few Goop Kitchen salads. I recruited my boyfriend and some friends to find out, opting to try two pizzas, two pastas, and a salad for our review of Goop Superfina.

"Our gummy vitamins have been on fire," CEO Matt Farrell told investors in a July earnings call. He said that Hero Nutritionals, founded in 1995, created the first gummy vitamin for the American market. A Perrigo representative said it no longer manufactured gummy vitamins, and it did not respond to further inquiries.) But the doctor had something to admit: He takes a gummy vitamin every day.

☆ Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop must stop making bogus claims about its $66 'vaginal eggs' because of a legal settlement. Here's the real science.
▼ + stars: | 2018-09-05 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

A "vaginal egg" will not balance your hormones, regulate your menstrual cycle, or help with bladder control. On Tuesday, Goop settled a lawsuit brought by the Santa Clara District Attorney’s office and others that alleged the company's claims about its "vaginal eggs" were hogwash. Candace Lowry/YoutubeThe statement added: "Goop provides a forum for practitioners to present their views and experiences with various products like the jade egg. I need to start my jade egg practice," she said with a laugh. Jen Gunter, a California-based obstetrician and gynecologist, wrote a widely cited blog post in 2017 about why Goop's vaginal jade eggs are a bad idea.
