Experts say the detox industry needs to come clean and admit their products – ranging from tea leaves to colonic irrigations – are closer to scams than real antidotes for lifestyle poisons such as fast food and hard partying.

There is no known way – certainly not through detox treatments – to make something that works perfectly well in a healthy body work better,” Ernst says.
