I had reservations about including that sentence, because I only have a vague idea which completely lacks details about mechanisms. And flushing seems like a folk-explanation rather than a science-explanation.

The other vague idea was that drinking more water means the toxins are more dilute, but I have even less confidence in that.

More dilute compared to the (cellular) mass of a person? That's a rather lot of water.
