Detox diets and cleanses

Detox and cleanse diets are BS. The entire premise of detoxing is BS. And yet, celebrities and food companies continue to push the idea that special juices or teas or powders can flush toxins out of your body.

When the allure of a cleanse feels strong, just remember that your liver and kidneys do all the detoxing work for you: You don't need to do anything additional to help them out. Any company that tries to convince you otherwise is likely trying to "cleanse" out the contents of your wallet.
