MYTHS DEBUNKED

We tackle misconceptions about the cost of
eating healthy, juice cleanses, and egg yolks.

MYTH:
EATING HEALTHY IS EXPENSIVE.

MYTH: A JUICE
CLEANSE IS A DETOX

FOR THE BODY.
FACT: Juice cleanses sell you
on a misconception that
they’re benefiting your body.
But the human body has a
natural detox system: The
liver, kidneys, and GI tract
work together to rid it of
harmful toxins and substances.
Additionally, the first few days
of a juice cleanse will deplete
glycogen stores, leaving you
feeling tired, irritable, and
shaky. And once a cleanse is
over, you’re likely to gain back

whatever weight you’ve lost.
