Sometimes it feels like we're going in circles: a celebrity says something insane, doctors (and journalists, and people on Twitter) explain why that is wrong, and then we go back to living lives that revolve around following celebrities. It's important to get correct information out there, and not downplay it when people give dangerous or damaging advice, but there's got to be some balance. Celebrities need to realise that when they say something, people will listen, and follow their advice often uncritically, and without getting their own physician's advice, Dr. Hoffman said. On the other hand, it's on us laypeople to digest all this information and figure out when to call B.S. "In order to protect ourselves from some of the bad advice that celebrities give, we really need to be on-guard and seek out better advice from better sources," he says.
