The release of POPs during weight loss may have harmful effects that are opposite to the expected benefits of losing weight.
Weight loss strategies should consider the potential negative impacts of POP release.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
Possible harmful effects due to release of POPs during weight loss are opposite to those usually expected from losing weight.
Why this rating
The claim is supported by observations regarding the dynamics of POP release during weight loss.
