Snake Oil on the Shopping List? How Pseudoscience Ends Up in Your Shopping

From biodynamic veggies to detox cures, our supermarkets are full of products that are pure woo.

One moment you’re picking up cold medicine, the next you’re eyeing a bottle of homeopathic sugar pearls. You finally decide to get started with a skin care routine, a moment later your money ends up in the pocket of an anthroposophical brand.

And those carrots … are they just organic or are they grown in tune with moon cycles and fertilized with some magic concoction made of a shit-stuffed cow horns?

Let’s unpick why pseudoscience is so at home among ordinary goods like apples and aspirin and why, at times, products that are gobbledygook end up in the shopping baskets of even the savviest skeptical minds.

Los geht’s um 20 Uhr (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit) bei Twitch.
