What toxins? Why and how would "toxins" build up at all? Everybody throws that term around, but nobody that believes it seems to know WTF it even means. There's no scientific proof that any "toxins" remain in your body that aren't processed naturally, that would need any additional cleansing.

In biological terms, your body naturally rids itself of anything it needs to throughout the digestive process. There is no allowance for "toxin" buildup. Your body isn't like a trash can where you regularly have to scrape the gunk off the sides after it cakes on over time. Your body just doesn't work that way.

The whole "cleansing of toxins" is nothing but homeopathic bullshit to take your money. And there's tons of proof of this...
