Experts skeptical of 'Master Cleanse' detox diet

As they should be.

Unfortunately, they are not skeptical of their own, doomed-to-fail diets.

Though there is no good data to suggest that organs (like the liver) go "toxic," this article does raise the possibility that some people's minds go toxic.

Too bad this diet appears incapable of cleansing the stool out from the brains of these dieters.

Interestingly, Oprah, who is arguably one of the greatest threats to national/planetary health is mentioned in this piece. As a fitness failure, who presumably follows the advice of the experts she elevates to celebrity status, her body speaks volumes about the experts' approach to fitness, especially weight loss.

The lessons? Avoid Master Cleanse, avoid diet and fitness experts, avoid Oprah and her advice and avoid all of Oprah's advice-givers, if you want to succeed at fitness.
