of Waste” Claim Is Misleading
The idea that most people carry many kilograms of old stool or “toxins” stuck to the colon is a common detox myth.
Your digestive system continuously moves food residue through the intestines, absorbs nutrients and water, and eliminates stool. In a healthy person, the colon does not require routine flushing to remove toxins.
A large drop on the scale after diarrhea, laxatives, or colon irrigation would mostly reflect temporary losses of stool, water, and intestinal contents. It would not represent 15 kilograms of harmful toxins
