  In the Super Foods book I share the most potent super foods available, but there's still some questions about these foods like... Which foods are the best?  What if I don't like a Superfood, does that mean I should just give up and return to my readily available fast food meals?  The answer is a resounding "No!"

Manufacturers of detox patches advertise detoxification of your entire body while you sleep. Users claim they have had great success with their white patches turning dark and filthy overnight as a result of all the toxins pulled from the body. If you consider the science of how the body works, however, you will realize the claims made by manufacturers of detox patches are not reasonable. While some nutrients and waste products can pass through the pores of the skin, the skin is not equipped to dispose of all the body's waste products. Most of these products simply can't permeate the skin. That is why our bodies have an excretory system which handles the breaking down and disposal of the body's waste products. Even if the patches did have some drawing power ...
