A fibrous material in sea kelp called alginate was better at preventing fat absorption than most over-the-counter slimming treatments, laboratory tests for a University of Newcastle study showed.
"This suggests that if we can add the natural fiber to products commonly eaten daily - such as bread, biscuits and yogurts - up to three-quarters of the fat contained in that meal could simply pass through the body," team leader Dr Iain Brownlee told Sky News UK.
"Now, the next step is to carry out clinical trials to find out how effective it is when eaten as part of a normal diet." Share
