[1] The film covers vaccines, autism, celebrity-endorsed health fads, cancer, allergies, organic food, GMOs, homeopathy, and the appeal to nature fallacy.

[3][4] In 2015, a group of bloggers[a] wrote an open letter to several celebrity mothers, including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Gwyneth Paltrow,[6] criticizing their anti-GMO stance, and explaining the safety and benefits of GMOs.

[5][8]This letter caught the attention of Natalie Newell, who said "I was so impressed to see this group of intelligent, relatable and reasonable moms standing up for science and against the fear-based culture that seems to have infected the world of parenting.

[1][7] As reported by the Center for Inquiry: "Through interviews with five... moms with careers in science, we get both an idea of what the modern parent has to contend with, as well as some clarity on some of the more hot-button issues around food and health.

"[7] The film was reviewed by Jennifer Muirhead of Weekend Notes, who said that it "invites discussion about how to find quality information amid the sea of opinions and conjecture at our fingertips and encourages fellow parents to seek out the facts and not to let fear control their lives.

"[11] In May 2018, Hemant Mehta reported on the release of the film to YouTube, and said "It's such a relief to know these mothers are out there, raising their kids with reason instead of giving in to the irrational nonsense people constantly throw in their direction.

"[4] Following the production and release of the film, the women involved with it created a non-profit educational organization named SciMoms, in order to continue promoting evidence-based parenting and policy as presented in Science Moms.
