ThinkstockWhich TV show is better for your body image: "How to Look Good Naked," which encourages real women to love their bodies, or "America's Next Top Model," which parades skinny, young girls hoping to become the next Tyra?

Sound like a no-brainer? It's not.

New research coming out next year in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, finds that TV shows promoting positive body image actually have the opposite effect-a conclusion most people wouldn't expect.

In the study, 120 female college students were separated into three groups: 40 students watched a TV show promoting positive body image (the British version of "How to Look Good Naked"), 40 watched a show promoting the thin ideal ("Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model"), and 40 watched a neutral nature documentary.

The researchers, led by YouBeauty Attraction Expert, Viren Swami, Ph.D., measured mood, body anxiety and body weight dissatisfaction before and after subjects

ThinkstockOk, no news there. But new research does show how the sizes stack up.

A lucky few, 128 men to be exact, were picked to participate in a study at the University Of Wroclaw, in which they were forced to ogle ta-tas from not one, not two, but three different angles!

Not a bad way to do your part for science, ey, gentlemen?

And while a not-so-sneaky peak at our cleavage might induce an eye roll from the average woman, the findings could prove even more disheartening for women with cup sizes C and up.

According to the study, men attracted to busty babes were romantic rolling stones whose relationships were mostly short lived. On the other hand, men who preferred a perfectly petite pair tended to be the kind that liked to settle down in committed relationships.

QUIZ: What's Your Unique Body Shape?

Clearly those commitment types know what requirements are really important for a woman to fill and it's not a bra!

Although, perhaps that's a little altruistic

ThinkstockA new report came out today showing that taking multivitamin and mineral supplements is associated with increased mortality (death) rates.

In other words, you might see some news outlets with sensationalist headlines along the lines of "Supplements Will Kill You."

The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, pulled data from the Iowa Women's Health Study for 38,772 women with an average age of 61.6 years. Supplement use was checked in 1986, 1997 and 2004, and the percentage of women taking at least one supplement increased by just over 22 percent between 1986 and 2004.

Use of multivitamins, vitamin B 6 , folic acid, iron, magnesium, zinc and copper, were all associated with increased risk of death in the study population, with iron and copper being the worst offenders.

ThinkstockA new study sheds light on why makeup is a girl's best friend.

Fans of "The Drew Carey Show" may recall Mimi, a co-worker most well known for making cutting wisecracks and wearing an extremely ostentatious amount of makeup on her face.

Turns out, viewers may have perceived her character to be the most competent of the workers. According to a new study involving joint research from Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry and Procter and Gamble (P&G), the way women wear color cosmetics can significantly alter how others perceive them.

Researchers asked participants to judge 100 photos of 25 women's faces, in which the ladies appeared in varying degrees of makeup classified as "natural," "professional" and "glamorous," (building up intensity with the latter category representing the most obvious darker shades of color).

All three makeup looks increased ratings of attractiveness, competence,

ThinkstockAdd this to the long list of reasons why blondes may have more fun: A new study being published later this year shows they're more likely to get picked up at a bar (but not because they're hotter).

We're guessing you've heard all the hype about blondes. Often, studies on hair color show that they're rated more attractive, younger and healthier than darker-haired damsels (even though 90 percent of the world's population is brunette). They're also more likely to rake in a higher salary and tend to marry richer. But if you're already reaching for the bleach, hold off.

STUDY: Blondes Earn More, Marry Richer

A 2011 study in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, led by YouBeauty Attraction Expert, Viren Swami, Ph.D., put hair color to the test in the real world and found that brunettes may get the last laugh.

In the first part of the study, a fair-skinned woman hit up three different nightclubs on three separate occasions-as a brunette, a blonde and a redhead. (Her hair
