Myth: Detox drinks and juices clean out toxins.

What science says

There is no good evidence that any drink 'detoxes' the body. The liver and kidneys already handle waste products. Fruit juices also concentrate sugar with less fibre than whole fruit.

BhojVigyan take

Plain water is the simplest everyday drink. Prefer whole fruit over juice, and treat 'detox' claims as marketing rather than nutrition.
