Detox Teas (Teatoxes)

Celebrity-endorsed detox teas from brands like Flat Tummy Tea and SkinnyMint typically contain senna, a stimulant laxative that causes cramping and diarrhea masquerading as "cleansing." The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has banned multiple detox tea claims, and prolonged senna use can cause laxative dependency, melanosis coli, and dangerous potassium depletion.
