Great information on Master Cleanse, the lemonade diet.
The next ingredient in our What’s in the recipe? series might be the one that most people are scared of. I actually love Cayenne pepper, and regularly use a dash of it in hot chocolate to add a little kick. Cayenne pepper adds vitamins B and C to the Lemonade Diet. It also aids in your Master Cleanse by cleansing the respiratory system by breaking down mucus, which allows you to breathe better and removes toxins.
The next ingredient that Stanley Burroughs wrote about in The Master Cleanser’s Lemonade Diet recipe is Maple Syrup. Maple syrup is one of the few unprocessed good sugars that provide micro-nutrients as well as calories to the body. This is important as this diet nearly eliminates all calorie intake, so the maple syrup is vital for keeping your energy up. It is high in minerals including zinc and manganese. For the Master Cleanse, Burroughs recommends Grade B because it contains more minerals than the lighter grades of maple syrup.
