It's the two hundred and fifty million business empire that has brought Gwyneth Paltrow as much success as her acting career. But last week, the actor’s wellness brand, Goop, finally paid the price for its outlandish content when it was forced to shell out $145,000 (£110,000) for making ‘unscientific’ claims about some of its products.
