Have you found yourself Googling ‘jade eggs’ or ‘toxins’ lately? If so, it’s very likely you’ve been reading up on actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s health and wellness website ‘Goop’.

And if you have, you’ve probably been confronted with the knowledge that crystals are a ‘timeless database of knowledge’ or that you should be ‘steaming’ your vagina – and raised an eyebrow.

One doctor has done much more than that - she’s penned an open letter after seeing the affect Paltrow’s “crackpot” advice has had on her patients.

And she’s not alone. Many doctors around the globe have been calling Paltrow out on the lack of scientific research behind her articles, prompting this response from the starlet in a recent interview with Fast Company.

“If you want to fuck with me bring your A-game.”

In response, US-based gynaecologist Dr Jen Gunter concocted this killer headline which ran on her Wordpress site.

“Dear Gwyneth Paltrow we’re not f**king with you we’re correcting you, XOXO Science.” Dr Gunter goes on to call the website a “scare factory”.

“Literally, it’s either made up (often poorly, but with liberal use of the word toxin) or someone’s hypothesis with little to no supporting data.”

“Tampons are not vaginal death sticks, vegetables with lectins are not killing us, vaginas don’t need steaming, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) does not cause every thyroid disease, and for fuck’s sake no one needs to know their latex farmer what they need to know is that the only thing between them and HIV or gonorrhoea is a few millimetres of latex so glove that shit up,” she writes.

Gunter goes on to question Paltrow’s sources which include a ghost whisperer and a jade ‘eggthusiast’ who founded the school she got her ‘certification’ from.

Dr Gunter’s point is that Paltrow has no medical training herself and that the things she’s publishing need to be checked over by someone who is competent and certified.

“If you commented on my acting or told me how to pose for a headshot I’d listen because you are an expert in those areas,” she writes.

This obstetrician and gynaecologist knows firsthand how Paltrow publishing what she calls “goopshit” can affect everyday people.

“What do you possibly have to gain by spreading lies to women about bras causing breast cancer? Ever had a breast cancer survivor cry in your office worried that she caused her cancer by wearing bras for 20 years? Probably not. I have. When you give your platform to crackpot theories about bras and breast cancer you are literally fucking with breast cancer survivors. Is this fun for you?”

As an added blow to the Hollywood actress, Dr Gunter says that her articles are lowering the Medical I.Q. and will cost thousands of dollars in research money to disprove.

“This find of fear mongering causes so much distress that researchers have to do special studies even though the idea is biologically implausible and not supported by the myriad of research already available.”

“I can think of better ways to spend those breast cancer research dollars.”

In a final, sassy and defiant comment, Dr Gunter sets her stance, loud and clear.

“It does not take my A game to counter the snake oil, biologically implausible theories, incorrect information, and magic that you and GOOP pass off as health advice. Really, I’m not sure it even takes my C game. It might take a game, like Clue, but that’s about it.”

“We’re not fucking with you we’re correcting you and you know what? We’re not going to stop.”
