            Two patients with chloracne had concentrations of 2,3,7,8- 
tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) of 144 000 and 26
            000 pg/g blood lipids. Olestra, a non-digestible, lipophilic 
dietary fat substitute accelerated the patients' intestinal
            excretion of TCDD by eight to ten fold. This is sufficient to 
reduce the normally observed elimination half life of TCDD
            from about 7 years to 1-2 years.
