Raw food diet? master cleanse?

The notion that your colon needs cleansing is a triumph of marketing. There have been clinical studies, but none produced results backing the claims of colon cleansing products. Fecal material does not collect, impacted on the colon walls. Fecal material in the colon is not toxic and cannot poison. (Or constipated people would be found dead on the street!)





Colon cleansing is quackery, designed to sell you a product you don鈥檛 need.





There is no legitimate reason to cleanse your colon unless you're getting a colonoscopy. (And the various colon cleansing products marketed on TV and in magazines are not what gastroenterologists want patients to use.)





Flushing everything out of the colon is not the secret to weight loss or better health. It results in weight loss not because it's healthy but because poop and future poop weighs something. You鈥檒l feel better because you *believe* you鈥檝e done something healthy, not because you *have* done something healthy.





More beneficial than a colon cleansing is consistently eating whole grains, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and drinking enough to be properly hydrated all the time. It doesn't matter if the foods are raw or cooked.





Spend your health care dollars and time on something that's actually beneficial.
