How does chitin differ from other fibres, like cereals, or Metamucil?
Chitin and chitosan have the unique ability to attract and bind fat making it indigestible, especially animal fat. There are many wonderful fibres that we eat such as oat bran, but chitin is unique in that it is magnetically attracted to fat, especially dangerous saturated fat. Chitin is the only fat binding fibre ever discovered. Chitin seeks out, attracts, traps, soaks up and binds fat stopping it from being digested. In fact, it is the only substance ever discovered that will bind excess fat like this.
