Miley Cyrus hits back at anorexia speculation

Miley Cyrus has fired back at false reports she is starving herself to stay thin.

The former Hannah Montana star sparked criticism after taking to her Twitter.com page on Easter Sunday (08Apr12) and posting a photo of herself taking a whiff of fast food, alongside the caption, "I can't eat it. So I'm just gonna smell... it! My mouth is literally watering."

Followers began accusing Cyrus of drastic dieting, but she was quick to explain her reason for saying no to junk food.

She wrote, "For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is c**p anyway!... I ate today at Easter lunch but all of it was healthy and even more fulfilling! Health is happiness!"

Cyrus also urged her fans to adopt a gluten-free diet, adding, "Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing! You won't go back!"
