I'm extremely surprised (and a bit worried) that no one has challenged you on this? Who is Falcon Blanco (the first website that you cite)?

The American Heart Association has this to say...

Quote:
Juice Fasting and other "Cleansing" Diets: These diets and techniques are touted as "cleansing toxins from your body." The insides of our bodies are not "dirty," and for the most part these mysterious "toxins" are rarely identified. Although you might lose weight by drinking nothing but juice for three days, this eating plan is nutritionally unsound — it contains no protein, for example — and can promote excess fluid loss and diarrhea.
