I am curious about cleanses. Can someone please explain to me exactly what toxins are being cleansed? How and why? Educate me, please. I would love to read some studies on them.

    I just tried a beer with a seranno pepper in it, I imagine it would be better than regular beer since everyone knows spicy foods get rid of toxins.

    I do this except with vodka.

    Sorry OP. I know you're being serious but I think you're going to be hard pressed to find actual scientific studies backing up a cleanse.

    There are many discussion on MFP on cleanses and detoxes. Do a search. Some of the discussions get pretty snarky, but otherwise, they are very educational. Worth the read, if you really want to learn about cleansing.

    General consensus: it's a lot of hooey, but has some benefit if you just eat clean.

    And that's the question, I think. What are the benefits - especially if you eat clean?

    There's another question. Why Spring cleansing? Is Fall cleansing not beneficial?

    The food you eat has toxins in it. From the spray they use on fruits and vegetable to keep the bugs off and to ripen quicker to make more of it to the antibiotics that are feed to our animals. And these toxins are what cause sickness and illnesses and diseases. I use a cellular cleanse. I love it.

    I'm very technical and have a good grasp of basic human biology. I think I could understand if it was explained to me. At least pointed to some source.

    I think it's important to mention that you sell the stuff and stand to make profit by pitching it as effective. Whether it is or not.

    However, that's against forum rules!

    You can't because there's none. Which .. y'know ... is what you're trying to expose here.

    Can you name some of these toxins or point me in the direction of an information source? Toxin is pretty vague.

    I am curious about cleanses. Can someone please explain to me exactly what toxins are being cleansed? How and why? Educate me, please. I would love to read some studies on them.

    You must be bored lately.

    You know as well as I do that these cleanses are 100% nonsense.

    ^^This. Obviously a baiting thread. I get that it may get annoying at times to read all the "will this cleanse work" threads, but I honestly think alot of people new to fitness don't know any better. The pompus attitude by some on can be seen as very rude in my opinion (doesnt bother me so much, but I can see where newbies would shy away)


    Did you have all the knowledge you have today 160 pounds ago OP?

    Just looks like a little exercise in Socratic Inquiry to lead the cleanse people to the light ...

    People who ask aren't a problem. And if someone says they have concrete evidence they work, they're a cleanse salesman. It's the second group that's a problem.

    Think what you will. I would love to have them explained to me. If they work, show me how. This would be good information for all newbies. I think it's a service more than anything.
