Is Your Cleanse Whole Foods Approved?

One of the most influential and significant forces in the natural foods industry is Whole Foods Market.  Whole Foods provides a list of “unacceptable ingredients” for the foods, beverages, and supplements they carry in their store.

Cleanses should only be 100% natural to provide true detox and weight loss benefits.  Putting chemicals in your body completely contradicts the benefits of a cleanse.
