Abstract
Myth: A juice cleanse diet will detoxify my liver and clear out chemicals from my body. Fact: This myth relates to a previous Wellness Weekly on processed and organics foods. Hundreds if not thousands take up a "juice cleanse" diet with reports that it "renews your body" and "clears evidence of junk food." Well the evidence of junk food, or any food, technically is cleared in a natural way by everyone up to 3 times daily. The basis for wanting to do a cleanse is the negative, almost fearful connotation of the words toxins, and chemicals.
