Juice diets or other “detoxes” work
As long as you have a healthy liver and kidneys, your body can detoxify itself just fine, Apovian says. Moreover, trendy detox diets can harm you. “Drinking lots of juice does not assist with removing toxins from the body,” says Dr. Caudle. “In fact, many juices are high in sugar which can result in a blood sugar spike, quickly followed by a crash. Furthermore, being on a juice fast for an extended period of time may result in malnourishment.”
