Detoxing always sounded a bit unlikely to me. Now I don't need to bother with it ...

Ben Goldacre was on R4 this morning. Up against a woman from one of the detox companies. He pulled her up on some claims on her website and she denied they were there.
He said he'll put it up on BadScience.

I don't think anyone needs to detox. Just start exercising may be get down the gym or start swimming. Then just cut out the lager, crisps, biscuits, chicolates etc. Its all so simple really...

Unfortunately, my Consultant Nutritionist (:cheesy:) has prescribed (dark) chocolate Hobnobs as a compulsory element in my post-festivity detox regime.
I'll just have to force myself.::)

I think my diet is lacking in some essential toxins. Maybe I could take up smoking again, seeing as I can't eat too many fatty foods, salty foods, sugary foods or drink alcohol.

Get down the gym and get on those weights. Finish with 64 lengths of the pool and you'll live to 90 guaranteed.

Let me get this right ... I spend a third of my life exercising in order to extend my life span by less than a third?

Of course I'm blooming detoxing.
I have a liver, two kidneys and the full compliment of skin.
I can't not detox.

Me! I might even go as far as ruining it by dipping it in my cuppa tea. Blasphemy is a fine fine thing. ;)
Detoxing is a little too similar to sinning (use your imagination), and then promptly going to confession, is it not?

Dunking is fine, I just find Hobnobs sweet enough already - not everything needs chocolate.

Yeah, people should just accept their excesses :smiley:

De-toxing? Pah! My body is a temple....
...one of those that gets discovered in a forest after a few hundred years, the sort that has an altar with strange dark stains on it and dubious carvings depicting things that should not be...

I don't de-tox, I don't need to. I go to the doctor once a year, pee in a bottle, and two days later he rings me up and tells me I can carry on drinking. He's a very nice doctor.... so far .....
