Cleanses, especially those related to the gut, are a topic of significant debate and lack high-quality scientific consensus. Andrew Huberman and Justin Sonnenburg discuss this in the context of gut health, noting that while fasting and cleanses like juice cleanses are popular, their impact on health isn't well-established scientifically. They suggest that processes like fasting might disrupt the microbiota and potentially incite inflammation due to changes like excessive mucus consumption by bacteria in the absence of food. The scientific evidence surrounding the benefits or detriments of cleanses, particularly for the gut microbiota, remains inconclusive. They also allude to possible negative outcomes if the microbiota's reconstitution is left to chance following a cleanse 1.
