Re: Does EDTA chelate mycotoxin?

[Guest guest]

Jay,

The simple answer to your question is not at all.

There are dozens of known mycotoxins, all very much larger than single,

charged metal atoms (ions), and few are charged; in other words, they are

neutral.

The molecular structure of EDTA is highly specific and it ONLY chelates

charged metal atoms (metal ions). The molecule is quite small compared to a

mycotoxin molecule, and grabs ions in a claw-like cage.

And that's it.

All mycotoxins are MUCH larger than water molecules and mycotoxins cannot

penetrate anything the way water molecules can.

Hi Loni,

My original question was whether EDTA removes mycotoxin as well as heavy

metals. So, which chelators is your environmental doc thinks that chelate

mycotoxins ?

Thanks
