Popular cleanse myth

Popular cleanse myth

A popular cleanse is the cayenne pepper and lemon juice drink to "help your liver flush toxins." 

You drink it, and it gets digested. Nutrients get absorbed in the blood and arrive at the liver. But the liver processes these nutrients the same as everything else. It packages what's useful and disseminates it throughout the body. What it can't use becomes waste. So there's nothing exceptional about mixing cayenne and lemon. It doesn't "clean the pipes."

You might lose a few pounds at best because you aren't eating much. At worst, you could go into starvation mode.
