Detox don't work
Experts claim that detox diets don't work. At least, not in the way all the food gurus claim. A detox diet is likely to involve an increase in fruit, veg and water and a decrease in the crap that put all those toxins there in the first place.Ursula Arens, a registered dietician and spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association said: "'Detox' is a meaningless term that is used all the time.
"And because it hasn't been defined, it's impossible to say if it's worked or if it hasn't."
She added: "All food is made up of chemicals, and all our body does with food is a chemical reaction.
"The body is set up to deal with the chemicals it doesn't want, and excrete them."
