1.3. Usuwanie metali ciężkich (ID 1887, 3156)
The claimed effects are “helps eliminate toxins/heavy metals from the body” and “might support detoxication processes”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wording, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect is related to the elimination of heavy metals.
The Panel considers that elimination of heavy metals is a beneficial physiological effect.
2.1. Usuwanie metali ciężkich (ID 1887, 3156)
No human studies that contained data which could be used to substantiate the claim were cited in the references provided.
The references provided comprised some animal studies and human studies which were not related to the claimed effect. The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from these references for the scientific substantiation of the claimed effect.
One reference was an animal study on the reduction of blood lead concentrations. One was an in vitro study which investigated the removal of copper and nickel from solution. The Panel considers that while effects shown in animal and in vitro studies may be used as supportive evidence, human studies are required for the substantiation of a claim, and that the evidence provided in animal and in vitro studies alone is not sufficient to predict the occurrence of an effect of the consumption of the food(s)/food constituent(s) on the elimination of heavy metals in humans.
One reference was a textbook, describing a study which examined the reduction of cadmium, copper, chromium, nickel and lead in children. The information provided regarding the study design, methodology and statistical analyses given in this textbook was insufficient for a complete scientific evaluation and the original reference cited in the textbook was not available to the Panel, even after having made all reasonable efforts to retrieve it. The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from this reference for the scientific substantiation of the claimed effect.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of the food(s)/food constituent(s) which are the subject of the health claim and elimination of heavy metals.
