Starchblockers, a new diet
aid now on the market, may be
hazardous to your health, ac
cording to a food safety expert
at Oregon State University.
The problem with starch
jMockers, says Jane Wyatt,
USU food science specialist, is
that their primary ingredient
is raw kidney bean extract.
''We know there are some
naturally occurring toxicants
in raw legumes and kidney
beans are one of the legume
family of plants," she says.
'These toxicants may inhib
it normal body metabolism for
protein breakdown, and may
also cause other harmful ef
fects if concentrated in the
body In significant amounts."
According to Wyih, the
FDA has now classified "
starchblockers as a drug be
cause of the effect they are
supposed to have on body
metabolism This classifica
tion requires the makers of
starchblockers to test them
for safety and effectiveness
before they can be sold.
Wyatt's criticism of starch
blockers doesnt stop there.
Even if they are proven not
harmful to human health, she
says she doubts that users of
these dieting pills would get
, any more out of them than a
case of diarrhea.
.'The kidney bean extract in
starchblockers is supposed to
act as an inhibitor on the
enzyme amylase," Wyatt ex
plains. "Amylase breaks
down complex carbohydrates
into glucose, which is sugar
and a source of energy to the
body "
When the human body takes
in more carbohydrates than it
uses, the excess is stored as
fat in the body. The starch
blockers are supposed to pre
vent this by preventing break
down of carbohydrates into
glucose. Therefore, users of
these diet aids are supposed to
be able to cat all the carbohy
drates they want and still lose
weight.
Contrary to what the mak
ers of starchblockers claim,
Wyatt says she isn't convinced
that kidney bean extract is
effective in inhibiting the
amylase enzynes, She says
she also doubts whether the
extract would be absorbed
across the intestinal tract to
participate in the normal body
process of the breakdown of
carbohydrates.
"It seems unlikely to me
that the starchblocking mater
ial could get where it would
need to be in the body's
digestive system to act in the
carbohydrate breakdown pro
cess," Wyatt states.
Probably the protein extract
from the kidney beans would
be treated as a protein by the
body, and the enzymes in the
digestive tract would break
the extract down like any
other protein."
Assuming that starchblock
ers would work in inhibiting
the activityof amylase, Wyatt
says that an individual taking
these pills and then loading up
on carbohydrates would prob
ably end with a severe case of
diarrhea.
Wyatt adds that there have
already been reports among
starchblocker users of not
only diarrhea, but also
nausea, vomiting and stomach
pain.
Dieters should approach
starchblockers or any other
similar type of dieting aid with
caution," suggests Wyatt.
"Generally speaking, there is
no easy way to lose weight."
