Good News

5 Jan 2006 Detox programs a waste of time

This will seem like good news to some and perhaps not so to others. According to the Times this week Detox diets are a waste of time and money.Most of the pills, juices, teas and oils that are sold for their detoxifying effects on the body have no scientific foundation for their claims, according to toxicologists and dieticians. They will not influence the rate at which the body rids itself of toxins, and any beneficial effects would be matched at much lower cost by drinking plenty of tap water, eating fruit and vegetables and getting a few early nights.

According to  John Emsley, of the Royal Society of Chemistry "Our bodies are very good at eliminating all the nasties that we might ingest over the festive season. There is a popular notion that we can speed up the elimination process by drinking fancy bottled water or sipping herbal teas, but this is just nonsense.” The full report, Making Sense of Chemical Stories, will be published later this month by the charity Sense About Science .

It's contagious.

Smiles are contagious. Prove it to yourself. The next time that you pass somebody, especially if they're a stranger. Smile at them and watch what happens. In my experience, you will find that at least 90% of peaople will smile back. You will have just improved your day and theirs.

Imagine if everybody did that, very soon, everybody in the world would be smiling.
