12、hings you like that are bad for you, then the new year is the detox season - when people across the western world adopt special diets to lose weight and get rid of the vague feeling that they have spent the last few weeks poisoning themselves. But are detox diets really necessary? After all, the bod

13、y itself gets rid of unwanted substances. Thats what the liver and kidney are for. The detox fad - or fads, as there are many methods - is an example of the capacity of people to believe in and pay for magic despite the lack of any sound evidence1, says Martin Wiseman, professor of human nutrition a

14、t the University of Southampton in the UK. Most of the pills, juices, teas and oils that are sold for their detoxifying effects on the body have no scientific foundation for their claims, according to the research.

15、s may be magic rather science, but they are the kind of magic which many people want to perform. That may have something to do with the westen diet in general.

16、ing from what is likely to have been a poor diet. Having fewer headaches, for example, is probably the result of being fully hydrated due to drinking so much water and better skin may be due to eating more fruit and vegetables.

Detox diets are more popular in these countries than in places l

Perhaps detox diets are successful because many westerners have lost mast in what they eat. On the other hand, they may help r

21、e-introduce people to the kind of food that is necessary for a healthy diet. And after learning that, they wont poison themselves in the first place.

B 答题依据在最后一段里，食品工业并不希望人们都吃健康食品，因为先把有问题的不健康的食品卖给大家吃，然后再把解决问题的饮食方式推销给大家，食品工业可以两边都盈利。第十一篇 Will Hillary Be t
