Celery juice has become a trend, but this effect seems to be overblown and not based on clear science.
3.1 Misconceptions Celery juice is becoming more and more popular in part because of Anthony William - a self-proclaimed health professional with no background in nutrition and medicine.
William and others claim that celery juice is a cure for all chronic diseases because “undiscovered cluster salt” can kill harmful bacteria inside the intestinal tract. However, there is no scientific evidence for the existence of these salts. What's more, there are only a handful of studies on the effects of celery juice on acne, diabetes, liver disease, and weight loss.

Moreover, drinking too much celery juice increases the body's sodium levels dangerously. In particular, those following a salt-restricted diet should avoid celery juice.

4.2 Low fiber The celery juice is filtered to remove the fiber. Fiber is a healthy nutrient that keeps you full for longer. Without fiber, the body will digest celery juice quickly, making you feel hungry faster. For example, replacing a nutritious and high-fiber breakfast with celery juice can make you eat more calories throughout the day.
