Gwyneth Paltrow Eats Peanut M&Ms and Wades Into MAHA

The actress, who has described herself as an “independent thinker,” pushed one of RFK Jr.’s unproven causes—raw milk.

Gwyneth Paltrow is “very fascinated” by RFK Jr.‘s Make America Healthy Again movement.

The actress and wellness guru outed herself as an enthusiastic observer of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s health crusade in a Vanity Fair cover story on Tuesday, expressing deep concerns about the U.S. health system.

Wary of the country’s lax food regulations, she limits her consumption of peanut M&M’s, for example, though she made an exception on a recent flight in Europe.

“I would not do that in America,” she told Vanity Fair.

Oreos, too, didn’t taste like they used to in her youth, she said, having eaten one recently.

Paltrow, who has described herself as an “independent thinker,” observed, “A lot of our institutions are really failing us and that is this pervasive, sweeping axiom that Americans feel.”

She stated that she does not align herself to any particular leader when it comes to her concerns about the U.S. health system and avoided naming the Secretary of Health and Human Services. But she pushed one of RFK Jr.‘s most unproven causes—raw milk.

She explained that she is aware of the widely accepted view that drinking raw milk is unsafe, and that proponents of its safety are seen as engaging in pseudoscience.

She acknowledged there was a lack of evidence showing the benefits of raw milk, but asked “is someone going to invest in getting a data set around raw milk? It’s not going to be the dairy industry, right?”

The Food and Drug Administration states that raw milk “can harbor dangerous germs that can pose serious health risks.”

Nevertheless, Paltrow drinks raw cream from the California-based Raw Farm in her coffee every morning. Raw Farm recalled all of its raw whole milk and cream in December following the discovery of bird flu in some of the products by health authorities.

Paltrow’s flirtations with pseudoscience aren’t entirely surprising. In 2017, NASA had to debunk a claim by her wellness brand Goop, which suggested that NASA science was used in its questionable wearable “stickers” designed to “promote healing.”
