The reason the the toxins aren't specified is because the list is long and distinguished and different for everyone. But I'll give a quick example. Our bodies absorb and produce all kinds of toxic substances all our lives. From environmental pollutants, to pesticides in our foods, to cellular waste of the metabolic process. All of these pollutants/irritants/wastes/toxins need to be eliminated or, if the elimination capacity is reached, stored away somewhere where they would do the least harm. So... If you're a miner, for example. When you fast, chances are you will end up eliminating large amounts of heavy metals. If you eat a diet laden with salt and other spices, then you might notice that you start to actually reek of garlic, onion, etc as you fast and the alkaloids are eliminated. So list isn't unspecified - just far too subjective to the individual.
