Of course, animals are not human. Therefore, while the animal studies were conclusive, there was the possibility that the findings did not apply to us.
Fortunately, this possibility has now been removed. The idea that Chitosan can help one lose weight by preventing the absorption of calorie-laden fat is no longer just a theory based on animal studies. It is a fact proved in human studies. It really works. Specifically, a randomized, double-blind study6 conducted in Finland by Professors Lasus and Abelin in 1994 proved that ingesting Chitosan could help one shed pounds. In this study, 30 obese patients were given Chitosan, while a control group with a precisely identical diet was given a placebo. Within a
4-week period, members of the Chitosan group lost an average of 15 pounds apiece, compared to the placebo group (which only lost 5.5 pounds). The Finnish researchers reported that Chitosan “was the best and most hygiene way to take a weight-reducing substance.” They pointed out that it was safe, and their results were in line with those of a 1991 Norwegian trial described below. Both studies were conclusive and very impressive. And I suspect that there is even more good news to come from this remarkable product. What we already know certainly whets the appetite for more research on Chitosan to come.
