Fat Magnets, Chitosan, and Soap
I recently chanced upon an advertisement site for chitosan, claimed to be a "fat magnet" coma leaving a high-fat foods and lose weight. Looked like another magic pill. So I turned to my search engine to obtain useful Google.Com information.
Chitosan is processed from chitin, mostly obtained from crushed shellfish shells, crab shells, and the like. Chitosan is a polymer with a structure similar to cellulose. It has applications in industry, such as keeping catalysts.
National governments of both Britain and U.S. have taken legal action against manufacturers and sellers of Chitosan as a dietary supplement, since it says that the absorption of fat can be blocked by the ingestion chitosan have been tested and proven false. However, many websites are still selling this snake oil medicine. I wonder why. Not the good guys win and ill make it disappear?
One site sales of the diet, I said that chitosan is extracted from crushed shellfish shells and ionically can attract "with negatively charged fat like a magnet. "First, the mechanism does not involve magnets ions or charge attraction.
One example comes to mind in which the ions interact with fats, namely the creation and use of soap.
Once again, back to the hand Google.Com search engines.
Soap was found at least four thousand years ago, and many times in many places since then. Soap was not always used to clean, sometimes the way of being soft is used to treat open wounds, or as a hairdresser, two examples. One way is to form soap grease residue of a cooking fire to match the existing water and alkali in wood ash. This alkali is sodium hydroxide and potassium. A legend says that rainwater falling on the altar of fire used to sacrifice animals to God causes soap to form and flow into the streams that were discovered after being good for dry cleaning.
A soap molecule consists of a fatty acid molecule (carbon and hydrogen atoms) chemically combined with one atom of sodium or potassium, with a few other atoms, like oxygen, tied in. The chemical process is the exchange of electrons between the parties, said the party identified as positive and negative ions. Soft fats tend to make softer soaps solid fats. Potassium makes softer than sodium soaps.
Soap cleaning assistance, as it helps to emulsify fats (or soponify or saponification) in water, ie the molecules of fat is distributed in water with soap. The end of the alkali soap molecule loves water, grease and the end is drawn for fat. If the fat be eliminated beginning in solid form, water can be heated.
Many recipes can be found through Google search to make soap. Some include boric acid, sodium carbonate oils, aromatic, added heat, and so on, besides water, fat and alkali. It warns that sodium and potassium hydroxide are caustic that can attack the skin, aluminum pans, etc.. The lye or sodium hydroxide, is well known as a cleaner drainage, and can cause burns and even death if used with care. Simply pour liquid lye and fat together can make a mess fragrant and hot, not yet of usable soap.
This ability of soap to emulsify fats make it a dietary supplement to reduce fat absorption? I do not think well. Even if it gave results, I do not see myself getting enough soap to tackle the consumption of fatty foods. soap solution probably act as a laxative very powerful because it can be used for enemas.
Therefore, my conclusion is that "Fat Magnets" are just another magic trick does not work. I can added to the list below.
"Fat Burners" Anyone who's read my books or articles on health know that the body of "bodies strangers "are" lies. "Therefore, magic pills, foods, food combinations to" turn your fat burners " are like any other magic, only tricks.
"Fat Blocker" / "Starch Blocker" I have not read about any dietary supplement to block the absorption of starches and fats (1) works, and (2) makes no serious health risks.
As described in my "Easy Health Diet", the best way to reduce fat in the body is not eating too much fat (or other concentrated calories.) Prevention is much more powerful than cure. There are lots of foods low in fat, sugar and alcohol, to fill.
An observation: crushed shellfish shells are a good source calcium, but not the most easily absorbed. Farmers are feeding the chickens that provide calcium as well as providing grain to feed birds grinding process in the gizzard. laying eggs need plenty of calcium for the shells.
