A 14-day master cleanse consisting only of lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup removes all poisons from the human body.
The finding
What the evidence shows
There's no evidence this drink removes toxins from the body. The kidneys and liver already handle detoxification on their own, and nutrition experts describe the master cleanse as a fad diet that mostly just causes temporary weight loss from severe calorie restriction, not a poison flush.
