Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is incorrect and risky. ⚠️ The idea of 'flushing toxins' is a marketing term, not a medical one. Your liver and kidneys are your body's natural, highly effective detoxification system. Drinking salt water doesn't 'help' them; instead, it can overwhelm them. Ingesting excess salt can lead to a dangerous imbalance of ions, specifically sodium overload (hypernatremia), which disrupts cellular function and can be a medical emergency.
