Weight Loss May Push Toxins Into Bloodstream - Broken down fat cells release stored pollutants: study: "Scientists have uncovered a toxic underside to weight loss: the breaking down of fat cells can release a flood of 'pollutants' stored there. Fat stores trap certain toxins such as DDT and PCBs. When significant amounts of fat are broken down, these chemicals are released into the bloodstream, where they may trigger disease, warn the researchers. 'The dogma is that weight loss is always good, while weight gain is always bad,' but that may not always hold up, warned lead researcher Dr. Duk-Hee Lee"
