\ud83d\udeab The Myth of \u201cColon Waste Buildup\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea that your colon fills up with rotting food, toxins, or 15 kg of sludge is a myth popularized by the $71 billion detox industry .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Science Says:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Your colon (large intestine) moves waste out efficiently \u2014 that\u2019s its job.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stool is mostly water, bacteria, and indigestible fiber \u2014 not \u201ctoxins.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • There\u2019s no scientific evidence that \u201ccolon cleansing\u201d removes dangerous buildup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Healthy people do not accumulate waste in their intestines over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    \ud83d\udcda The American College of Gastroenterology states:
    Routine colon cleanses are unnecessary and potentially harmful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
