Scientists dismiss detox schemes
Following a so-called detox plan - often popular in January - is a waste of time and money, scientists say.
They say many supplements do not have any effect and the body can recover from Christmas excess on its own.
The detox business - which includes diets, tablets and drinks said to flush out toxins - is said to be worth tens of millions of pounds.
But the scientists from the Sense About Science organisation say water, fresh air and sleep is all that is needed.
