SHERYL CROW - CROW URGES CANCER SUFFERERS TO GIVE UP TABLOIDS

SHERYL CROW is urging cancer sufferers to stop reading tabloids and gossip magazines - because the negativity contained inside hampers recovery. The singer/songwriter, who battled breast cancer a year ago (06), found her own circumstances changed when she stopped picking up the supermarket magazines, in which she regularly features. She tells the upcoming issue of Ladies Home Journal, "Don't waste time reading those trashy celebrity magazines. Every third person has one of those magazines open on planes. "Feed your body good things, but also feed your mind. It sets a strange precedent for us to laugh at people so we can supposedly feel better about ourselves. It's strangely exhilarating, like taking a hit of a crack pipe. "I read one of those mags during radiation and it was so offensive, I haven't picked one up since. It's the same with reality TV. "I say, 'Eat salmon and not a Big MAC, read something that will expand your mind and not tabloids. You'll feel better and be a lot happier."
