@cs3000 said in The relationship between Candida infections and heavy metal toxicity:
This one mentions mechanism of action being preventing reabsorption with bile that circulates
This strikes me as the most likely, since apple pectin is good increasing bile.
"Fecal bile acid excretion (+168%) and the hepatic activity of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (+70%) were significantly higher in pectin-fed animals. "
And most heavy metals are reabsorbed via bile.
Also good to know that pectin will preferentially excrete lead instead of copper. Apples for the win, again!
96.2% of the soluble fibers of carrots are pectin as well.
Do you know what an effective dose would be for heavy metal removal with pectin ?
Btw marmelade contains about 5g/kg.
