One of the notions of some of the health craze folks I have trouble with is the concept of "cleansing". It seems to cover way too much territory, and is often couched in terms that trigger a whole bunch of my BS alarms. However, maybe there's something underlying the concept: Washington University's Center for Genome Sciences researchers claim junk food binge alters community of microbes in the gut in less than a day, and that transferring those microbes to mice fed a healthier diet makes even those mice gain weight.
