From colon cleanses to juice fasts, detoxing has become a health fad with a noble goal: flushing bad elements out of the body.
But if you do a casual internet search on detoxing, you’ll see lots of dismissals from medical “experts” who say there is zero benefit to these practices. They argue that the body detoxes just fine on its own, without any special cleansing routines, and that, unlike the double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that back pharmaceutical drugs, there’s scant evidence that doing a detox really has much effect on health.
