Is juicing going to detox your insides until they sparkle, or will it decay your organs and your soul? We asked the experts.
Some people get righteously indignant about how juice cleanses are actually dangerous woo-woo nonsense. Other people use words like detox and toxins and purify and cleanse and swear by the stuff. And other people say things like "that's not how your body works" or "that's what your fucking liver is for."
And all of these people will insist that they are right.
But… what's the truth? What exactly does a juice cleanse do to your body? BuzzFeed Life reached out to some experts for some answers. And here's what they had to say.

"I don't know why someone would do a juice cleanse," Dr. John Buse, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the division of endocrinology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tells BuzzFeed Life. "There's very little evidence that it does anything good for you."

That really is what your liver (and your kidneys and intestines) are for. "I don't like the marketing around juice cleanses," Eric Ravussin, Ph.D., associate executive director for clinical science at Pennington Biomedical Research Center tells BuzzFeed Life. "That it's going to detox and mobilize all these toxins and all that — this is pure marketing."

There’s not any real evidence that juicing is some magical cure-all.
"I don't know why someone would do a juice cleanse," Dr. John Buse, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the division of endocrinology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tells BuzzFeed Life. "There's very little evidence that it does anything good for you."

And it definitely won’t “rid your body of toxins.”
That really is what your liver (and your kidneys and intestines) are for. "I don't like the marketing around juice cleanses," Eric Ravussin, Ph.D., associate executive director for clinical science at Pennington Biomedical Research Center tells BuzzFeed Life. "That it's going to detox and mobilize all these toxins and all that — this is pure marketing."
