A juice cleanse will 'detox' you after an unhealthy eating binge.

The myth of the juice cleanse is a stubborn one — and one frequently promoted by celebrities — but it's both wrong and unhealthy.

First of all, your body naturally removes harmful chemicals through the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract — there's nothing about juice that will hurry that process along.

Secondly, juicing is mostly a way of removing helpful fiber from fruits and vegetables — many sugary fruit juices are as bad for you as sodas. You're making the fruit less healthy by "juicing" it.
