Hello
I'm T1. Got a 2 week sample of this "boo tea" detox. Normally wouldn't bother with it but as its free thought I might as well use it.
But does anyone know of any reason a type 1 or diabetic shouldn't?
 
If you google the product you will see that it is, like the rest of detoxing claims, a scam.

Read through this article.

Any product or service with the words “detox” or “cleanse” in the name is only truly effective at cleansing your wallet of cash. Alternative medicine’s ideas of detoxification and cleansing have no basis in reality. There’s no published evidence to suggest that detox treatments, kits or rituals have any effect on our body’s ability to eliminate waste products effectively. They do have the ability to harm however – not only direct effects, like coffee enemas and purgatives, but the broader distraction away from the reality of how the body actually works and what we need to do to keep it healthy. “Detox” focuses attention on irrelevant issues, and gives consumers the impression that they can undo lifestyle decisions with quick fixes. Improved health isn’t found in a box of herbs, a bottle of homeopathy, or a bag of coffee pushed into your rectum. The lifestyle implications of a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, lack of sleep, and alcohol or drug use cannot simply be flushed or purged away. Our kidneys and liver don’t need a detox treatment. If anyone suggests a detox or cleanse to you, you’d do well to ignore the suggestion, and question any other health advice they may offer.

I would never spend money on it as at the end of the day it's still just tea. But don't like waste so thought I might just use it
 
I was going to suggest dialling 111 to find out more about this substance, but I fear it might be misinterpreted as a Boo Tea Call.

.... I'll get me coat :D
