in Motivation and Support
i have taken the time (as have many others) to explain why juice cleanses, cleanses, and detoxes are complete nonsense.

they are not grounded in science. they are not accepted by any legitimate medical organization as an acceptable strategy for weight loss. they don't work. in fact, some can be downright dangerous.

instead of being thanked for our efforts, we are often met with scorn and ridicule by the legions of fans of cleanses and detoxes. these people place their "feelings" and "beliefs" and 3rd-hand anecdotes above actual, real science. moreover, they often attribute magical medical properties to these cleanses and detoxes, to the point that i fear that some naive MFP member with a real and serious medical problem may consider foregoing real medical treatments in favor of trying a fraudulent cleanse of detox. for example, some MFP members who support cleanses and detoxes insist that these non-scientific methods can cure cancer (among other things).

i thought this site was supposed to be supportive. :frown:

    Troll post.

    it most certainly is not and your response is both inappropriate and inaccurate.

    I can't believe you would belittle something that has been handed down from generation to generation in my family!!! My great grandfather was an American Indian and he loves JUICE! (actual real life argument when I said juicing wasn't a good idea)

    Generally "troll posts" come from someone with 1 post.....not 3000.......just an observation! Now get back to your cabbage juice and peeled lemon.

    agree. :)

    I have friends in real life that chose the juicing route and I just ignore it when they bring it up.

    Best quote ever! I think I have actually burned a good amount of calories from the frustration that comes with trying to beat this into certain people's heads that I know.

    Nope. You're way off the mark there.

    Anyway, OP, you're being unsupportive of the unsupportive people. Maybe you should do a green raspberry ketone soup cleanse and learn to live on sunshine alone.
