Like a bridge over detox water. I will lay me down.0

When someone tries to sell you on a "detox" or "cleanse", ask them what it is their potion
removes from your body.
Betcha they can't, at least in any detail. They'll just say "toxins".
OK, what toxins, exactly.
And explain how it is their potion can remove those toxins while your body (which
probably is functioning just fine in the 'removing toxins' department, or you'd be in the
ICU) can't.
Your body has a liver, skin, kidneys, lungs, and a colon to remove the things which need to
be removed from your body. If they're not working, or if you've had an overdose of chemicals,
or something high in heavy metals, THEN you need a real detox. Not flavored water.
But if flavored water makes you drink more of it, then flavor your water.
'Cause water actually does help your body run better... including removing toxins.
(Waste products from metabolism which would otherwise build up & poison your body.)0 -
I don't know, but it doesn't seem like it would.0
