I recently chanced upon a web ad for chitosan, claimed to be a “Fat Magnet”, which would let one eat fatty foods and lose weight. Looked like another magic pill. So I turned to my handy Google.Com search engine for information.

Chitosan is processed from chitin, mostly obtained from crushed shellfish shells, crab shells, and similar. Chitosan is a polymer with structure similar to cellulose. It has applications in industry, such as to hold catalysts.

The national governments of both Britain and the USA have taken legal actions against makers and sellers of chitosan as a diet supplement, because claims that fat absorption can be blocked by ingesting chitosan have been tested and proven false. Yet many internet sites are still selling this snake- oil medicine. I wonder why that is. Don’t the good guys win and make the bad guys go away?

One of the diet sales sites told me that chitosan is an extract of crushed shellfish shells, and can ionically attract “negatively charged fat like a magnet”. For starters, the mechanism of magnets does not involve ions or charge attraction.

An example does come to mind in which ions interact with fats, namely the making and use of soaps.

Again, let’s turn to the handy Google.Com search engine.

Soap was discovered at least four thousand years ago, and many times in many places since then. Soap was not always used to clean, sometimes the soft form being used to treat open wounds, or as a hair dressing, for two examples. One way for soap to form is for fat drippings from a cooking fire to combine with water and the alkali existing in wood ashes. This alkali is hydroxide of sodium and potassium.    One legend says that rain water falling on fire altars used for animal sacrifice to gods caused soap to form and flow into streams that were then discovered to be good for cleaning clothes.

A molecule of soap consists of a molecule of fatty acid (carbon and hydrogen atoms) chemically combined with an atom of sodium or potassium, with some other atoms, such as oxygen, tied in. The chemical process involves the exchange of electrons among the parts, said parts being identifiable as positive and negative ions. Soft fats tend to make softer soaps than solid fats. Potassium makes softer soaps than sodium.

Soap helps in cleaning because it helps fat to emulsify (or soponify or saponify) in water, that is the fat molecules become distributed in water containing soap. The alkali end of the soap molecule loves water, and the fat end is attracted to fat. If the fats to be removed start out in solid form, the water can be heated.

Many recipes can be found through Google search for making soap. Some include boric acid, sodium carbonate, aromatic oils, added heat, and so forth, along with water, fat, and alkali. Be warned that sodium and potassium hydroxide are caustics which can attack skin, aluminum pans, et cetera. Lye, or sodium hydroxide, is well known as a drain cleaner, and can cause burns, even death, if used carelessly. Simply pouring lye and liquid fat together can make a smelly, hot mess, not yet a usable soap.

Does the ability of soap to emulsify fats make it a dietary supplement to reduce fat absorption? I don’t think so. Even if it did work, I can’t see myself eating enough soap to deal with fatty food consumption. Soap solution would probably act as a very powerful laxative, because it can be used for enemas.

Thus, I conclude that “Fat Magnets” are just another magic trick that does not work. I add them to the following list.

“Fat Burners”: Anyone who has read my books or articles on health knows that the body’s “FBs” are “FIBs”. Therefore, magic pills, foods, food combinations to “turn up your fat burners” are like any other magic, just tricks.

“Fat Blocker” / “Starch Blocker”: I have yet to read of any dietary supplement for blocking absorption of starches or fats which (1) works, and (2) does so without severe health risks.

As described in my “Easy Health Diet”, the best way for reducing fat in the body is to not eat much fat (or other concentrated calories). Prevention is far more powerful than cure. There are plenty of foods low in fat, sugar, and alcohol, to fill up on.

AN OBSERVATION: crushed shellfish shells ARE a good source for calcium, but not the most readily absorbed form. Farmers feed it to chickens to provide calcium while also providing grit for the birds’ food grinding process in the gizzard. Egg layers need a lot of calcium for the shells.

Fatness and overweight are calculated as the foremost harms in today’s culture.

Eating lot of fatty foods but barely doing any physical behavior. Fatness directs to many fitness problems, such as diabetes and high blood pressure and may even lead to heart attacks. There are a lot of diet medicines that are available in the marketplace. Among them, the Top Diet Pills are Ephedra Diet pills and 7-Keto DHEA diet pills.

The majority of the weight loss medicines hold Ephedrine. It is taken out from Ephedra, an aromatic plant. It is one of the early medicines used by Chinese. Chinese exposed Ephedra more than 2000 years ago. And all those diet medicines, which contain Ephedrine, are generally known as Ephedra diet medicines.Ephedrine is a fat burner as well as a hunger suppressant when merged with caffeine and aspirin. It is also thought that it assists to treat asthma and cough by loosening the air passage in the lungs. According to a study; it increases the rate of metabolism and helps in the reduction of weight while sparing the lean muscles.

Some of the popular diet pills that contain Ephedra are MeTrim, Metabolife, Lipodrene, Thyro-slim, Xenadrine, Herbal Phen-Fen, and natural Trim and so on.7-keto dhea diet pill increases the action of the thermogenic enzymes, which are associated to metabolism. These enzymes are fatty acyl CoA oxidase, malic enzymes and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. These enzymes force the liver cells to burn down fatty acids for energy.A review was done, in which two sets of people were gathered, where one group got 100mg of 7-Keto twice a day with their food while the other group received placebo capsules.

All the participants took part in exercise program that lasted for 50 minutes three times a week. They all had the same amount of calorie intake. After eight weeks, it was observed that the group who took 7-Keto lost a great amount of body weight in comparison with the placebo group; the 7-Keto group lost about 6.3 against 2.1 pounds. The group that consumed 7-Keto had reduced more percentage of body fat as compared to the placebo group-1.8% against 0.57%. It was also reported that no adverse side effects were found. This research shows that 7-Keto can reduce significant amount of body weight and body fat when combined with regular exercise. However, before taking any diet pills, it will be wise if you consult a doctor.
