Want to lose weight, the future can really rely on eating soil...

In studying how clay materials improve drug delivery, researcher Tahnee Dening of the University of South Australia (UniSA) was surprised to find that the clay material she uses has a unique ability to absorb fat droplets in her intestines.
Dening thinks the accidental discovery may help cure obesity.
her, "It's amazing!" I was working on the use of special clay materials to improve the absorption of oral antipsychotics, but I found that clay particles did not work as i expected.
", "These clay particles do not break down and release the drug, but instead attract fat droplets and absorb them."
they not only capture fat in its granule structure, but also prevent it from being absorbed by the body, ensuring that fat is only through the digestive system and not stuck in the body. "This unique behavior of clay immediately caught our attention and may be a way to treat obesity, " said
Dening.
" overweight can lead to serious health problems such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the increase in obesity is now evident, with almost two-thirds of adults and a quarter of children now overweight or obese.
If this trend continues, we can expect that by 2030 half of the world's population will be obese or overweight.
Because there are few effective drugs to treat obesity, many companies are investing heavily in other obesity treatments.
Dening studied the role of Montesoil, a natural clay material, and lithium soapstone, a synthetic clay, in weight loss.
she added the two clays to the mice's high-fat diet and compared them to the effects of placebo and olisto.
after two weeks of monitoring, she found that while both clay formulations and Olysis showed weight loss, clay materials performed better than drugs.
Dening says the findings offer a new perspective on obesity and weight control, especially with synergies associated with combined use with other commercial drugs. "Our processed clays have a very large surface area, which means they have a strong ability to interact with fat and fat in food and absorb them out,"
Dening said.
on the other hand, Osley is an enzyme inhibitor that blocks the digestion and absorption of 30% of dietary fat, which, while causing weight loss, can cause unpleasant side effects such as stomach pain, bloating, gas expansion and diarrhea, which limit its use.
" researchers are now working on the synergy of using clay materials and osley, which inhibits enzymes that digest fat molecules, which can be captured and trapped and excreted from the body, without causing gastrointestinal disorders. "We're actually dealing with fat digestion and absorption in two different ways, and we hope it will lead to better weight loss with fewer side effects, " says
Dening. Professor Clive Prestidge of UniSA,
, who led the study, said it had attracted the attention of potential investors. Professor
Prestidge said: "This is an important finding that opens up new and exciting avenues for weight loss research and is sure to attract potential business partners.
made such a discovery, it's natural for people to wonder when they can try.
considering that these clay materials are generally considered safe and are widely used in food and nutrition, I suspect that human clinical trials could begin soon.
