While celery juice is praised for its potential health benefits, such as being rich in antioxidants and vitamins, there is limited scientific evidence supporting claims that it detoxes the body or significantly boosts the immune system. The body naturally detoxifies through organs like the liver and kidneys, so while celery juice can be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet, it's not a magical solution for detoxing. Moderation and variety are key when it comes to health

This claim is false. Drinking celery juice does not detox your body. According to an article medically reviewed by nutritionist Amy Ritcher, "there is no evidence that celery juice detoxifies your body...Your body has its own natural detoxification system that includes the liver, kidneys, intestines, and lungs. You do not need to drink special beverages for detoxing." Also, there is no information on any reputable websites regarding celery juice and boosting your immune system.

Great job fact checking. Some other things you could do to further your factchecking is including looking into more sources. For instance, the article linked mentions a 2015 and 2017 article- you could try and find these to see if the information is reliable. Additionally, you could look into the specific ingredients of celery juice and explain why they are not able to detox the body.
