Another nail in the coffin for detoxes and cleanses from April 2009 edition of Women's Health.
David Ellington, MD
"The liver and kidneys break down and filter toxins (copper to ammonia) out of your blood stream and intenstines and into your waste. So far, no detox diet has been scientifically proven to be able to beat your own natural cleansing process..........don't take it to the extreme by, for instance, consuming only raw foods or only liquids for days at a time -- it could put you at risk for malnutrition, fatigue, and a host of other health problems, including a reduced metabolic rate and chronic bad breath."
Eating a balanced nutritional plan, and getting exercise and a healthy dose of clean water beats all!
