This episode is an angry nerd rant about [colon cleansing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_cleansing). [The K-Bomb Episode 8 : Colon Cleansing](https://anchor.fm/de-villiers-neethling/episodes/Episode-8-Colon-Cleansing-e43ttg)

## Take home points about Colon Cleansing 1. [Detox](https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-one-thing-you-need-to-know-before-you-detox/) is bullshit. Illnesses aren't caused by built-up toxins, so you need to do the hard work of embarking on a healthy lifestyle. You can't juice carrots for a few days and rid your body of toxins in order to improve your health. [Detoxification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detoxification_(alternative_medicine)) as a premise is flawed. 1. [Colon cleansing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_cleansing) cannot get toxins out of your body. Since absorption via your colon is more efficient than via your mouth or stomach, if you colon cleanse with a toxin like caffeine or alcohol, you can only introduce more toxins to your system. 1. [Butt chugging](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_enema) is for teenage girls, and it's not good for them either.
