Many processed foods, chemically sweetened drinks, and even pesticide ridden fruits and vegetables are part of an everyday diet. These chemicals can provide a lot of harm to the body, and we may not even realize it! The body is not designed to digest these chemicals, and for that reason it simply will not. This may lead to a buildup of toxins within the digestive tract, and more specifically the lining of the intestines. Shockingly, the average person may have between 4 and 25 pounds of built up toxins within their colon.
