We still receive questions and comments about detoxes and detoxifying a near-daily basis, and many of the products we review contain some sort of “detoxifying” element.

I nearly bit my tongue off as she told me about how she “helps

Last year, I made note of a court order suspending sales of certain acai berry supplement products. The defendants were making over-the-top, unproven weight loss and “detox” claims, offering phony “free trials,” and – of course – adding unauthorized charges to customers’ credit cards.
