Does detoxing make you lose weight?
Z'matter of fact, it might. There's good evidence that accumulation of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) -- PCBs, PBBs, dioxin, and others -- is related to metabolic syndrome and obesity. POPs cause all kinds of metabolic havoc that potentially contributes to weight gain: reduced T3 levels, lower resting metabolic rate, impaired fat oxidation, and so on. They are called "Persistent" because they are just that: stored in body fat, and difficult to get rid of. But possible to get rid of. It requires prolonged detox procedures, a few of which are touched on here:Alan Lewis's answer to How can we help our bodies to remove toxins out of our system? [also contains literature pertaining to the POP/obesity connection]I should stress however that this is an hypothesis. No one has formally tested an appropriate POP-oriented detox regime, over a sufficient period, to see if it works to reduce body weight. And I might add that subject selection would be important: people who do NOT have a significant POP body burden would not, of course, see any results.It is an hypothesis, but a pretty good one. Given the strength of the scientific work surrounding it, it would likely work, for appropriately selected subjects.Unfortunately, it is widely believed by people who are ignorant of the relevant scientific literatures that body toxicity does not exist and that deliberate detox procedures are impossible or unnecessary. This view is conditioned by the mass touting, including hucksterism, over many years, of detox-related ideas and regimes that have no scientific support. It is a shame that this very important general concept -- detox -- has been tainted in this way, but such is life.............................PS: quick check on medline to see what is new v/v the POPs/obesity connection. A few items:Dietary PCBs (POPs) & Obesity Risk: pubmed #24759782: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubm...POPs & visceral adiposity: pubmed #24963112: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubm...There's even evidence that POPs may be especially related to the trunkal/belly fat that Quorans hate so much: pubmed #26237202: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubm... --- "CONCLUSIONS: Stronger associations between POPs and trunk fat as compared to leg fat possibly indicated a more important role of trunk fat in the pharmacokinetics of POPs, or a stronger effect of POPs, as endocrine disruptors, on trunk fat metabolism."
