Detox

Detox diets are dietary plans regarded as having detoxifying effects. Scientists, dietitians, and doctors, while generally judging ‘detox diets’ harmless (unless nutritional deficiency results), often dispute the value and need of ‘detox diets’ due to lack of supporting factual evidence. “Detox” diets usually suggest that water, or fruits and vegetables compose a majority of one’s food intake. Limiting this to unprocessed (and sometimes also non-GM) foods is often advocated. Limiting or eliminating alcohol is also a major factor, and drinking more water is similarly recommended.
