Anyone talking about “toxins” and “waste products” as if they’re ‘stuck’ in your body is either very ignorant, or trying to sell you snake oil.

Some can be excreted by the human body, others can’t.

You contradicted yourself. The latter quote is true.

You're right, I did contradict myself. I meant to say one thing and ended up making a silly statement that doesn't make sense given the values I espouse myself. Thanks for pointing it out.
