I just had dinner with friends tonight (the second to last real dinner before I begin 'the cleanse') and was explaining what I plan to do over the course of the next two weeks; when my friend asked: "Isn't that the diet Gwyneth Paltrow does?"
This got me thinking about which celebrities have endorsed The Master Cleanse. I came home and googled: 'celebrity' 'master' 'cleanse.'
The third hit on the list was:
http://www.aolhealth.com/diet/celebrity/hollywood-diets
Summarizing Gwyneth's "seven-day elimination diet" which her doctor doesn't recommend since "the liver is not supported by the nutrients it needs."
The fifth hit on the list was:
http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/celebrity/becksmith.jsp?p=bsf_celebextremediets
Identifying Robin Quivers (Howard Stern sidekick) and Billy Bob Thornton as 'cleansers,' but also mentioning that "doctors warn of the method, claiming that extended fasting can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance."
Hit number seven:

Hit number eight:
