If you think you can talk me into this, you’ve got another think coming!

My uncle has been trying to “talk some sense into me” by telling me that a regimen that includes a frequently used Colon Cleanse product would be good for me.  He has recently become a “convert” into the cult of Colon Cleansers.  I think he’s certifiably nuts!  He thinks that it is a good thing to take a product that makes you spend extra time in the bathroom, on the toilet. 

He’s obviously bought into the mass media infomercial hype about how great colon cleansing is.  The hype that you can lose up to twenty pounds just by using their product, eliminating all of that “toxic waste.”  The hype that tells you that as the “toxic waste” supposedly “languishes” in your body, poisoning you with their toxicity.  Well, you know the human body has evolved into a pretty efficient organism, and I trust it to do the right thing most of the time.  Moving food faster through my body is going to rob me of needed nutrients that my body needs in order to function properly, not make me healthier!

OK, I get it, he’s gotten to the age where his metabolism has slowed down and he needs some help to eliminate his bodily wastes.  But I’m young, and my metabolism is very fast, and I don’t need that kind of help!
