Chitosan, the smart fiber, takes an entirely new approach to fat consumption. Unlike fat substitutes, it does not invite you to indulge – to dine mindlessly at the Western world's fat fest. Instead, Chitosan is intended to assist the white cells.
It binds with natural dietary fats before they reached the bloodstream, thereby reducing [not replacing] the total dietary fat available to the body. Chitosan regulates your rate of fat absorption, rather than radically introducing a synthetic substitute.
Very few of us realize that science has already demonstrated the efficacy of the natural fat-binder Chitosan. While the FDA busies itself preparing a risk list for synthetic substitutes, researchers in the Orient and Scandinavia are tallying the benefits of this smart, fat-binding fiber derived from chitin, a natural substance found in shellfish.
Consider the following important conclusions from recent investigations of fat binders:
In a 14-day weight-loss study at Ars Medicine in Helsinki, moderately obese patients taking L.-112 biopolymer – fat binder (Chitosan) performed nearly 100 percent better than patients taking a placebo. Since participants followed a regulated, reduced-calorie diet, researchers expected that all patients would lose at least some weight.
