Gluten-Free Fad
Miley Cyrus is the latest celeb to jump on the gluten-free trend, but experts are saying that the special diet isn’t for everyone. Miley announced on Twitter that she started the diet because of food allergies. Although she recommended that everyone try it, doctors say a gluten-free lifestyle is really only recommended for those with celiac disease. Via Booster Shots

Girls Vs. Boys
When it comes to working out, we ladies can definitely hold our own in the gym. However, a new study showed that men get almost twice as much daily exercise as women. Some docs say this could result from a lack of confidence, among other reasons. Via Prevention

Creative Buzz
All of those artists, musicians and journalists who drink and work might be onto something after all. A unique study found that those who knocked back a few drinks performed better on creativity tests (probably because they were more confident and relaxed). Via Medical News Today

Fake Fish
Regularly taking fish oil supplements is no excuse to skip out on the recommended two to three servings of fish per week, says a new study. Although there are still benefits to taking omega-3 supplements, the research found that those who took the capsules have the same risk for heart disease and heart failure as those who don’t.
