At this point, were not surprised when Goop s health and wellness claims turn out to be shady . But this latest case is out-of-this-world strange.

Gwyneth Paltrow s lifestyle site pulled a claim about energy-balancing body stickers after Gizmodo spoke with a NASA expert who pointed out the claim was untrue. Goop initially promoted the pricey Body Vibes stickers ($60 for a 10-pack ) by claiming they rebalance the energy frequency in our bodies and even treat certain ailments thanks in part to being made with the same conductive carbon material NASA uses to line space suits so they can monitor an astronauts vitals during wear.

But Gizmodos Rae Paoletta published a piece Thursday in which a NASA expert pointed out the agencys spacesuits dont contain conductive carbon material at all, not to mention he found the supposed science behind the product to be a load of BS. Goop subsequently pulled the spacesuit claim, though not the piece promoting the stickers.
