Study Notes

Dioxin Elimination with Olestra

Dioxins in the gut are eliminated with Olestra.
Weight loss releases dioxins from fat cells into the blood.
If no absorption occurs in the gut, dioxins are reabsorbed into the blood.
Olestra in the gut traps dioxins and eliminates them.
Olestra consumption requires a reduced caloric intake.

Research on Olestra

University of Cincinnati School of Medicine researchers studied Olestra's effect on weight loss and toxin elimination in mice.
Olestra eliminated hexachlorobenzene, a fat-soluble toxin.
Human studies show Olestra eliminates fat-soluble toxins.

Olestra and PCBs

A man exposed to PCBs (a type of oil) through electrical transformer work benefited from Olestra.
Two servings of Olestra daily for two years reduced PCB levels in the man's fatty tissues.
This lead to a remarkable recovery.
