  There is a common belief that celery is so difficult for humans to digest, that it has negative calories because human digestion burns more calories than can be extracted. In an episode of Food Detectives they proved that celery does not have "negative calories", but states that the amount of calories burned digesting it burns the calories taken in, and one would lose weight if one only consumed celery.

  Not exactly. But sometimes when you eat up a lot more celery in relation to your diet materials it may cause you dizziness meaning an extra burning of your stored calories.

  I know a friend who has had celery, and its done wonders for her. It cleared her mucuous inside her body, and didn't feel her throat blocked. It seems to clean the body somehow.
