Study Summary

Because of industrial pollution, a large number of people in Anniston, Alabama, have elevated body burdens of the class of compounds known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). There is evidence that these compounds are associated with risks to health including diabetes. There is also evidence that the consumption of a non-absorbable dietary fat can reduce the level of compounds like PCBs. This clinical trial will test the hypothesis that a non-absorbable dietary fat can reduce the levels of PCBs in subjects in Anniston.

Primary Outcome

The outcome is the percent change in body burden of total PCB's measured over one year. Initially the percent of baseline is calculated as (value at one year / value at baseline) \*100, then this is examined modeling over time as compared to the 100% at baseline.
