Many studies have suggested that endotoxin is associated with chronic disease, especially those involving inflammation. Given the importance of inflammation in colorectal cancer, a recent report by scientists at the University of North Carolina published in BMC Cancer showed that elevated plasma endotoxin, and the resultant inflammatory cytokines, strongly correlated with the development of colorectal adenomas.
Association of Plasma Endotoxin, Inflammatory Cytokines and Risk of Colorectal AdenomasScientists at BioDtech, Inc. have measured previously undetectable levels of endotoxin which could cause activation of the immune system. BioDtech products are designed to more accurately detect endotoxin and remove it from proteins and DNA.
