detox diets

London, UK, January 2: John Hoskins, a toxicologist, said: “On detox, the Romans got it right: Mundus vult decipi — the world wants to be deceived — better translated as ‘there’s a sucker born every minute’. The only thing that loses weight on a detox diet is your wallet.”

The detox fads that claim to rid the body of harmful chemicals accumulated through seasonal over-indulgence is an example of the capacity of people to believe in, and pay for magic despite lack of evidence.
