‘Detox’ your brain
The actual report below is about ‘detox’ with respect to body, how some products claim to ‘remove toxins’ from your body to keep you healthier, smarter, lovelier, sexier, funnier and punnier.
“Don’t waste your money buying dodgy products that claim to ‘detox’ your body instead, eat healthily and trust your liver and kidneys to do the job, scientists said in a report published Monday.
British science students who reviewed a range of ‘detox’ products from bottled water to face scrubs say many were “meaningless”. The investigation was kicked off by a campaign to demolish “dodgy” science claims – where companies use phrases that sound scientific but do not actually mean anything.
But since, it’s nowadays impossible to validate any news coming in – I detoxed my thoughts and went looking for the actual report, and found a good resource – ‘Sense about Science’ (http://www.senseaboutscience.org.uk).
