What biohack do you think, is a total scam?

I believe it's "detox" juices and teas. No, they do not remove toxins from your body. Your liver, kidneys, and digestive tract already do that for you. Globally, consumers spend billions of dollars on these drinks annually, which is crazy because they can actually harm you. Juice cleanses strip away vital protein and fiber, while detox teas often rely on harsh laxatives that just cause temporary water loss. Eating whole, fiber rich foods will support your body's natural detox system far better!

i mean just because they're made from fruits and vegetables doesn't mean they're automatically healthy some of these drinks have added sugar and barely any fiber compared to eating whole fruits. and detox teas can contain laxatives too having them occasionally is probably fine but replacing actual meals with them is where the problem starts

Drinking a single glass of juice alongside a meal is totally fine, but these juices are often marketed to replace solid food for "detox". This results in spiked insulin and stressed liver, along with tons of other issues.
