This seems... extreme, to me. Completely ignoring a thing because of an imperfection could narrow one's depth of experience.

  It's mostly involuntary by now. My BS detectors have been trained on that term my whole life. It's in the same category in my brain as "homeopathic".

    Even if it's not recommending a juice cleanse, whenever I see the word "Toxin" in an article without context I assume that the post was most likely written for the layman and as such probably sacrifices accuracy for ease-of-comprehension.

    "homeopathic" is a specific term that denotes a specific discredited (pseudo)scientific concept, that has been analyzed. "toxin" is an general term that encompasses many established entities as well as phony ones. When you see "toxin", you can ask "which toxin are you referring to?"

      My go-to default is black widow venom. If I don't get any specifics, I always just assume that the juice cleanse will rid my system of spider poison.
