Document Summary
Detox advocates claim that our modern lifestyle floods the body with toxins. But our bodies are engaged in detoxification all the time. Bbc study: women from a rock concert chosen to go on a detox diet or a healthy diet. Creatine levels were measured in the urine to determine the health status of that organ. Blood was tested for vitamins c and e, indicative of antioxidant potential, as well as for aluminum, which is often targeted as a significant toxin by detox proponents: no significant differences were noted between the groups. People may feel better due to the elimination of caffeine and alcohol, less food consumed, and also near starvation can trigger a boost in energy and even feelings of euphoria. However it is not nutritionally sound to think that the body will forgive our dietary sins if we undergo a cleanse once in a while.
