A few of my friends are fasting for a few days to "cleanse" themselves of bad food to start over healthy. Can that be healthy?

    Ask them to explain how it "cleanses" them...

    It is my understanding there is no evidence that fasting can be used to cleanse your system or even that your body would need to be cleansed to begin with.

    I dont really see what the point of that is, because after they "cleanse" they will eat again and would need to re-cleanse, lol. sounds strange to me. i haveeee heard of it before (detoxing) but idk, seems pointless. if you're going to fast, do it for a cause to raise money for something. and if its for losing weight, its not a good way to go because they'll most likely end up binging.
