Actress-turned-health guru Gwyneth Paltrow has been sharing more questionable lifestyle myths – this time concerning whether bras can cause breast cancer.

We’re constantly being told what we should or shouldn’t be doing, whether it’s drinking 100 glasses of water a day, that exercising before bed is bad for you or that we should cut red meat out of our diets.

But how much do you know about a healthy lifestyle? Take our quiz and find out.

So how did you do? Could you teach Gwyneth a thing or two or have you been trying to crunch your way to a six-pack to no avail? Let us know in the comments below.
