I used to absolutely love McDonald’s French fries. Whether it was the salt they used or the type of oil, I will never know; but what I do know is that every time I ate them, I always wanted more. Even if I got a burger somewhere else, I would still swing by McDonald’s on the way to get my fries.

Katie and Amina at Southern Botanicals share how their Intestinal Cleanse is going this week as part of the Total Internal Body Cleanse Program.
