With the ever growing popularity of detox diets all over the world, preocupation and debates on it’s direct effects to health and possible long-term irreversible damages are coming up more and more often.

How do detox diets work anyway?
Advertisers and supporters of this type of diet claim that it works by helping your body cleansing, releasing itself from bad toxins in the natural way, only accelerated by the help of herbs, supplements or remedies to help the human body in this proccess.

Some detox products manufacturers, however, claim that these products are also a mild diuretic, as the body increases the production of urin, just like alcohol, thus not giving much time for our body to absorb most of the food’s fat and other bad nutrients.

Long term effects
Detox diets can have side effects on your body, some of them of long-term. Just like any other, a detox diet must be planned carefully and, one should have in mind that what fits one person, might not fit another.

In case of any doubt, people considering a detox diet should always contact their family doctor, before even preparing to start.

Detox diet supplements all over the internet
Pedro Maia, director of DetoxDietABC.com, warns people to “not buy any kind of detox supplements they find all over the web. Most these websites are put up for marketing purposes without ever checking their sources for the information they are publishing, as the main goal is to sell, no matter what.”

“Just last year”, Pedro says, “we have exposed about 1200 websites for misleading information presented to the public. This is a very serious fact, as most people will buy from the first website that pops up in front of them, promising to help them lose weight in a ratio that anyone can perceive it is almost impossible, without any medical care or supervision. Even if that information is true, it never is healthy to lose 5kg in a week, for example.”

DetoxDietABC.com has been granted a government funding to keep with this kind of researches, for the sake of consumer’s health. This turns them in the first independent research website to ever get access to this kind of action.
