Detox Diet Effectiveness

The “detox” craze grew enormously after Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2008 Goop newsletter and Dr. Alejandro Junger’s 2011 book promoted cleansing regimens. This market hit $5 billion by 2018 without scientific backing. Medical research shows your liver and kidneys already efficiently remove toxins naturally. Many popular cleanses can cause nutrient deficiencies rather than health benefits. The appeal of quick purification rituals drives this industry despite the lack of evidence supporting their claims.
