#30: Detox Diets Don’t Detox Your Body

Detox diets don’t actually exist. Sure, you can drink whatever you’d like and imagine it’s purging your body, but in truth, it’s your liver and kidneys that are doing the hard work. You can’t rid your body of toxins and calories or clean your organs by consuming juices.

As for all those extra toxins the detox diets get rid of? They simply don’t exist. If your body accumulated toxins at the rate these diets suggest, it would be the number one killer on the list of causes of death. Now, to be fair, some people’s organs aren’t in peak condition, but this is an issue for a medical expert, not a detox diet.
