Health Advice of the Stars You Really Shouldn’t Take

10. Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone positioned herself as the ultimate Earth Mother in her book The Kind Mama: A Simple Guide to Supercharged Fertility, a Radiant Pregnancy, a Sweeter Birth, and a Healthier, More Beautiful Beginning. We support her healthy lifestyle, but some of the unconventional things she recommends are a little out there. She’s another advocate for placenta eating, is on the anti-vax bandwagon and also says no to tampons and diapers. Some of her claims are a little too extreme for comfort, like when she says a plant-based diet can prevent miscarriages and postpartum depression. Don’t get your key parenting advice from a has-been movie star, as she seems to be a little “clueless” on some important matters. Her fame maybe scored her a book deal, but it doesn’t really qualify her to dispense health and wellness tips.
