Q. Is it true that when you eat celery you burn more calories than you consume?

A. 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.
