this episode of dnews is brought to you byharry’s when you hear the word "detox" or "cleanse"do you get irrationally angry? well c'mon get happy! let's break this down like thedigestive system! detoxes tell us on our diet is filled with"toxins" and "chemicals," that need to be cleaned out. their solution is to eat rawthings, or only drink juice, or whatever…
list of fad diets that don't work, detoxing is a huge industry that has beencompletely debunked by medical science, but that doesn't stop us doing it. if you area drug addict, medical science can help clear your system with a detox, but if not -- buyingdime-store online direct-to-consumer health fad detox is not going to do anything helpful.
pills and potions to improve the body havebeen sold for centuries; and every time science looks into it, it's obvious they're sellingsnake oil. the human body is an incredible thing -- it can take in any number of edible,drinkable and breathable things which are low-level poisons, and process them. you'reprobably thinking sugar! alcohol! fast food! but, oxygen, salt, and water are poisons!in high enough quantities, each of those can kill. it's all in the dosage. everything inmoderation, is a great way to look at it. for example, alcohol got its moniker as apoison from the women's christian temperance union, the anti-saloon league and the kkk[1]to get people to stop consuming. sure, in massive quantities alcohol will poison us,but so will salt or oxygen! plus, popular
"detox" foods like tomatoes and broccoli containcyanide! and drinking nothing but fructose -- the sugar which makes fruit juice sweet-- does not go over well in humans. in reality, the human body comes with structuresdesigned specifically to clean and filter the blood and digestive systems -- the liverand the kidneys[2]. they do a great job keeping us clean. when we consume anything, the kidneysand liver filter out any "toxins" and send them out of the body as waste. *hands* done.a "detox diet" doesn't help the kidneys do this job any better. according to the guardian[3] and harvard medicalschool[4], detox kits are often designed to make you feel like you're getting somethingfor your money, even if you're not. for example,
there are no little bits of poop stuck inyour colon that need to be cleansed, but some colon-cleansing tablets claim to have a polymerisingagent that makes your poop stick together in a single piece; so you can then admireit and feel accomplished-- actually, that sounds pretty awesome. but it's not healthier. even though the detoxing itself isn't doinganything helpful, the act often has people reporting they feel healthier or have moreenergy, or even have weight loss! all these things are possible, some might be a placebo…but in the end, it could also be down to the highly restrictive forms of many of thesediets. intermittent fasting has shown some benefits[5]… and if you're restricting nutrientsyou're essentially fasting. during a fast,
your metabolism drops, and your body putsmore resources into your brain power to help you find food. in modern society that meansmore energy flow for your neurons[6]! the reason people keep doing it is a mystery,maybe it's because we want to believe we have control over our bodies, or because we feellike we have to make up for eating badly, or because we hear about pollution and toxinsin our environment[7], or because taking a pill seems easier than exercise… or somethingelse… who knows. the best way to "detox" your body, is not to drink only juice fora week, that's for sure; but rather to eat healthily, exercise outside. we couldn't have made this episode of dnewswithout support from harry's. valentines day
