Why Detox is a Scam

One of the most common categories of unregulated quackery on the internet is DETOX. The term is used to describe a range of treatments, typically supplements, diets, and juices to solve a range of issues from weight loss, to gut issues, and skin problems. The only problem: THEY DON’T WORK

Let me be fair to the good-faith folks who genuinely think their herbal concoctions actually remove toxins from the body and believe they have seen results. IT’S NOT THE DRINK. It’s just giving your body a break that allows it to remove toxins. The drink ends up taking all the credit without doing any of the work!

To be even more fair to folks who disagree, there are molecules in certain foods that are excellent antioxidants and antimicrobials. These are generally good to consume as part of a regular, healthy diet. But they do nothing to DETOX your body, but may have beneficial properties AS PART OF AN OVERALL HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

THANK YOU!!! SOMEONE SAID THIS!!! I'm so SICK of everyone pushing this "once-a-week"/"once-a-month" narrative !!!

You and Dr Abby Philips are the health guys I trust - both of you present well-researched and scientific content which honestly we need MORE of. Hell, that's also what he said in a video/tweet of his (about this detox bs)!

The last time my cousins tried to share their 'detox' recipes, i asked them if they could give me their kidneys and liver to sell because they obviously don't need them anymore after consuming so many 'detox' drinks.

That shut them up fast

This is exactly what I was saying to my sister, but she doesn't want to understand. By the way I love your videos sir ❤

Biggest joke is people consume alcohol and cigarettes and then go for 'detox' products.

What about milk thistle and other herbs for liver detox?

[ovidiu]

i never done this and understand what you are saying, but i'm just curious. Aren't there some sort of supplements that helps for example the liver to work better? so it helps detox?

Someone was trying to sell me a $2200 detox program telling me ill lose 70lbs in 9 months. 15 in the first 3 weeks. Im glad i was skeptical enough to seek understanding from others. Cause even though i have "toxins" no one could name one. Thanks for the help and my wallet thanks you too
