Dietary interventions that are moderate in fat, largely plant-based, and include intermittent fasting can facilitate the biliary excretion of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), thereby reducing their toxicity and improving cardiovascular outcomes in T2DM patients.
To help your body get rid of stored environmental toxins while managing diabetes, try a diet that is moderate in fat and mostly plants, combined with intermittent fasting. This approach helps your liver excrete toxins and provides protective plant compounds, potentially offering better heart health benefits than standard low-fat diets.
A moderate, rather than low-fat, and largely plant-based diet with intermittent fasting or caloric restriction is envisaged by Lee et al. to facilitate biliary POP excretion, provide protective phytochemicals that induce or enhance cellular defense mechanisms, and reduce POP intake through avoidance of animal-derived fats.
Why this rating
The paper cites 'Lee et al.' as envisaging this outcome; it is a theoretical proposal based on mechanistic understanding rather than a direct trial result in this specific text.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
