Cameron Diaz has written a book called ‘Her Body Book’ – it’s a guide to how the body works.

In it, she covers information on nutrition, gives tips on how much protein you need and offers diagrams that are not all that dissimilar from those found in a textbook.

One section of the book, called ‘In Praise of Pubes’ is drawing a stupid amount of media attention. Journalists have asked Cameron to clear up her pubic policy:

I didn’t say what I prefer, I just said pubic hair has a purpose. You can do what you want with it, I don’t care – you can shave it off every day, wax it off every day, turn it into a bonsai – I don’t care.

I just said consider maybe not removing it permanently and forever with laser treatment. Forever is forever and when we make those choices for our body we have to live with them forever.

The book contains other oddities. Like when she asks her readers to eat beetroot, and then examine their feaces for any change of colour. Apparently, and Diaz is firm on this, a change in colour might help discern how well your metabolism is doing.

I thought that was so strange – we’ve come so far as women our age and we don’t understand how our bodies work. So I set out on this quest to bring that information to women in a way that’s easy to read.

Good for you, Cameron.
