Detoxification: The science behind social media claims of detox health benefits
Abstract
Detoxification: The science behind social media claims of detox health benefits : Jessie R. Badley and Pamela J. Lein from the University of California, Davis, explain the science behind detoxification and the claims of detox health benefits in social media and the deception associated with it. A variety of “detoxification” therapies, supplements, and diets are being pushed on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram as “natural” approaches for removing toxic substances from your body to promote weight loss and/or improve health and wellness.
