Non-absorbable polyol polyesters dissolve toxic lipophilic compounds in the stomach and intestine of humans and lower animals and thus decrease their absorption. The polyol polyesters also dissolve the toxic, lipophilic materials and their metabolites if they are excreted in bile, and prevent their resorption. The invention thus provides a means for detoxifying humans and lower animals which have ingested toxic lipophilic materials (e.g., DDT, Kepone, PCB, PBB) by accelerating the excretion of such materials that have accumulated in the body. The process involves oral administration to a human or lower animal in need of such treatment of a sufficient amount of a non-absorbable polyol fatty acid polyester to effect detoxification.

A method for detoxifying humans and lower animals exposed to lipophilic toxins, comprising administering to a human or lower animal exposed to lipophilic toxins a therapeutically effective amount of a non-absorbable, non-digestible polyol fatty acid polyester having at least 4 fatty acid ester groups, wherein the polyol fatty acid polyester is selected from the group consisting of sugars and sugar alcohols containing from 4 to 8 hydroxyl groups esterified with fatty acid groups and wherein each fatty acid group has from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms.
