Celebrity Dieting: Are Many Stars Nutritionally Illiterate?

I was absolutely horrified upon reading this story on AOL about the rumored ways that celebrities stay slim.

Granted, this story from veteran reporter Jennifer Fields relates rumor, hearsay conjecture and gossip about the stars and their drastic diets, but, if true, one story is worse than the next and these alleged diet "tricks" are potentially destructive and counter-productive.

For example, skipping meals is a no-no — it just sets you up for a hypoglycemic reaction. So Paris Hilton’s reported drinking of Red Bull and water and passing up on food is just plain dangerous.
