Answer #1

The idea of doing a detox (some also call them “cleanses”) is to flush rotting food, fatty deposits, and other nastiness that may have gotten clogged in your digestive tract. The theory goes that some foods (red meats in particular) have a harder time navigating the dozens of curves of your intestines than others, get caught in the folds, and, instead of passing through as waste, linger and rot. This, depending on who you talk to, causes anything from fatigue to cancer (the symptoms almost always get worse the more fanatical the person is about doing cleanses).

Most detoxes involve lots of liquids, little to no solid foods, and a few additives like vitamins or supplements. Most detoxes also involve a lot of runny poops.
