[QUOTE="AlcalaBob, post: 188723, member: 30529"] I won't go on too much about this sort of Woo theory about toxins and the incorrect reports of how human digestion work. Anyone interested in finding out can look it up on Wikipedia easily enough. But there are so many incorrect statements in the last post that we would be foolish to believe it. When people talk about toxins accumulating, they are always very reluctant to specify what those toxins actually are and where they accumulate - because if that information was stated, it could be checked and demonstrated to be untrue. The liver removes metabolic biproducts very efficiently, mostly by oxidation and excretion through the kidneys. The mechanism is very well-understood and documented. But the way this Woo theory works is as follows: - make an unsubstantiated claim about toxins - relate it to some other pet theory about "natural" food - make up a theory about how human digestion works - present the pre-formulated conclusions and recommendations Of course you need to eat a balanced diet to provide nutrition but that has nothing to do with the nonsense about toxins and that mystical word "natural". When that other mystical reference to blocked and clogged "pathways" appears, we know there is little real understanding here. Human biochemistry is already very well-understood and although not everything is known, a vast amount is. We should remember that scientific knowledge isn't simply an opinion - it is independent of the opinion of any scientists because it has to rest on verifiable evidence. If you want to challenge the knowledge of biochemistry you have to take it on evidentiary terms and present your verifiable evidence yourself. You can start with which toxins are accumulating and how that is verified. [/QUOTE]
