Mike: A lot of people are familiar with detox, but some are not, and from a nutritional standpoint, they certainly may not be familiar with what it involves. What type of detox do you focus on?
Dr. Haas: Well, detoxification involves getting rid of things from the body as well as stopping toxins and irritants in the body, those things that our body does not handle well or that cause damage, inflammation, irritation or over-stimulation in the case of caffeine or over-sedation in the case of alcohol. Now, when people think of detox, they think of drug addicts who need to go into a detox center. However, there are many others who could benefit from detox. It is really the more common, everyday people who have habits that I call a SNACC -- which stands for sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals. Probably well over 90 percent of people have a habit of at least one of these substances. I think over time our habits are what create our problems, especially what we eat.

Mike: So, that's sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals?

Dr. Haas: SNACC -- sugar, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and chemicals. The chapters in the book, The New Detox Diet, cover each of those.

Mike: When you say chemicals, what type of chemicals are you referring to?
