As a detox diet

Scientists, dietitians, and doctors regard detox diets as less effective than water-fasting, and hence a waste of money.[11] Catherine Collins, Chief Dietician of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London, England, states that "The concept of ‘detox’ is a marketing myth rather than a physiological entity. The idea that an avalanche of vitamins, minerals, and laxatives taken over a 2 to 7 day period can have a long-lasting benefit for the body is also a marketing myth."[11]

Detox diets, depending on the type and duration, are viewed as potentially dangerous and can cause various health problems including muscle loss, decreased metabolism, and an unhealthy re-gaining of fat after the detox ends.[12]
