Sugar does not make your kids hyperactive, hangover cures don’t work, and food consumed after midnight has precisely the same calorie count as the same food consumed before midnight, a new study finds.
Is your bra killing you? Probably not. But increasing amounts of evidence suggest that most women are wearing the wrong bra size – and suffering a range of health problems as a result.
Ever heard of the “health halo”? No, it’s not the glow of smugness you can almost see surrounding joggers in the park. It’s a new way of telling you that you probably don’t know what’s in your food.
Vinegar - great with fish and chips, but can also help ease arthritis.
Well, that’s according to intrepid explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes anyway, who swears by the stuff.
The 64-year-old adventurer got the first twinges of arthritis 20 years ago in his hands and hips, which he says was caused by too many expeditions spent sleeping in cold conditions.
Valium is not just for depressed housewives with bad hair and pearl necklaces.
In fact, the drug which helped tranquilised an entire nation of bored women during the 60s and 70s is making a comeback - as a cheap alternative to heroin.
According to DrugScope, there has been an increase in people using the pill known as ‘Mother’s Little Helper’ in 15 of the 20 UK towns surveyed.
It seems Angelina Jolie is human after all.
There was us thinking that the Lara Croft star was finding juggling motherhood, her career and various charity commitments a breeze.
Not so, say sources close to Angelina and Brad, who have revealed the reason we have not seen her much since the birth of the ridiculously-named twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon is because they are driving her potty.
Apparently a bunch of scientists have tracked down a common genetic flaw in men that prevents the bearer of it settling down easily. They’re less likely to take a wife or have kids.
Those that do get married are twice as likely to be in a rocky marriage or to have discussed divorce.
The gene - dubbed the ‘love rat gene’ by Brit papers - is linked to a bonding chemical (vasopressin). So when they say ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ turns out it’s true.
Jade has been speaking to GMTV about her cancer ordeal - and claims she didn’t know that the ‘cancer conversation’ was being recorded for TV.
She told GMTV that doctors had originally given her the all clear and packed her off with painkillers for period pain.
In news that is likely to get middle England whipped into a right old froth, health experts have said singing is so good for the body and soul that it should be available on prescription.
An American explains: “An active engagement with music can be good for an older person’s overall physical and mental health. I will particularly focus on the positive effects of singing on the mind and the immune system, and how music and art can have positive influences on the course of illness with aging.”
The Sex and the City redhead, who plays butch solicitor, Miranda Hobbs, has revealed she overcame breast cancer, but it wasn’t that big a brouhaha.
The mum of one discovered she had stage 1 cancer two years ago, she tells Shape magazine. Having watched her mum suffer with - and beat - breast cancer 30 years before, she wasn’t too worried.
Gwen Stefani has given birth to a baby boy - and, yes, you guessed it, she’s given the poor blighter a rather silly name.
The famous singer gave birth in LA on Thursday afternoon, and called the poor thing Zuma Nesta Rock!!!
I mean, Zuma Nesta Rock!!! Come on. That’s not fair.
Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
