Scientists have warned in a report about the products that claim to 'detox' your body, don't work actually. Some British Science students reviewed 15 'detox' products-from bottled water to face scrub and found that many products were 'meaningless'.

Voice of Young Science, a group representing PhD and post-doctorate students working in science reported that companies use the phrases that seemed to be scientific but actually do not mean anything. Without any scientific evidence these products mislead the consumers and they start believing that 'detox' products actually work.

A biologist and author of the report, Harriet Ball said: "Detox is marketed as the idea that modern living fills us with invisible nasties that our bodies can't cope with unless we buy the latest jargon-filled remedy."

One of the researchers investigated the face wash of 'Garnier' that claimed to 'detoxify' the skin by removing toxins. Researcher said the 'toxins' turned out to be the dirt, skin oils and make-up that any cleanser would be expected to remove. For not being backed by evidence, a five-day detox plan from a pharmaceutical chain was also criticized. Researchers warned that some detox diets could have dangerous consequences. Most of them are just waste of money.

Alice Tuff, from Sense About Science, which published the report, said: "It is ridiculous that we're seeing a return to mystical properties being claimed for products in the
21st Century and I'm really pleased that young scientists are sharing their concerns about this with the public."
