Depends on your defn of a detox. I know some are basically just drinking water or watery soups for several days with no solids, that can't be good for you. However I see no harm in someone switching to genuinely healthy foods for a few days to try and clean out their system before returning to processed foods.

 

Feels ultimately pointless to me though.

No. My liver's working perfectly well, thanks.

 

I like this:

So does detox work? If it helps us realise that having a healthy lifestyle all the time is an attainable goal, then yes. But if it makes us think healthy living is like purgatory, something to be ventured into very occasionally, and with much trepidation and forward planning, then the answer is clearly no. And is it an intellectually dishonest scam? Probably. Although it might be gentler to think of it as a voluntary, self-administered tax on scientific illiteracy and decadence.

From here.
