I personally cannot stand the term "detox". Largely - it is a term used but the pseudo-scientific alternative "health" industry when they make claims about various body parts and some herb (or potion of herbs). Liver detox, lung detox, colon detox. Well, unless someone can point to some actual science that shows toxins being removed from these organs by the herb concoctions well... it's just another concoction.
So despite the title of the piece, I read this article since I am of the belief that too much sugar in the diet may well be a health risk. It is an interesting article which, unfortunately, like many alt-health articles, asserts some of the vague, cloudy findings of health research as hard, take 'em to the bank type facts.
The author says at one point that as a result of this reduction in sugar intake his weight as dropped. This is good but fits within my favorite diet plan/framework which I call the "change your diet" weight loss program. Whatever it is you eat now, be it nothing but breakfast cereal or steak and potatoes. Stop. Just stop. Find some other collection of food that is different, start eating that instead. My thinking is that the mental effort at consciously changing your diet and the impact that the change in food-type has on the microbiome together lead to reduced fat storage and thus weight.
