ohhhhhhhh, ****
I'M GOING TO PREFACE THIS AS A CONSUMER ADVISORY
yeah, so i'm grocery shopping today, and i saw some fat free pringles. hmm, sounds really good AND healthy. nothing but a few carbs in them. so i picked up two cans. i'm halfway through the first can (i starve myself of snack food, so i devour it when i get it) before i see the "olean" logo on the side. now, i start remembering that article i read on olean/olestra a while back before it really hit the market. basically, it tastes like fat, but it's not fat. oh, and it lubricates your whole digestive system, so food SQUIRTS out nicley. not that you all wanna hear about what's gonna happen next, but i'm giving you a heads up. don't buy any products with olestra/olean in them. just look at any low-fat or non-fat products to make sure there's none of this **** in it. do a search on the clinical trials of this and read what happens to people that eat it. f_you_ma

I used to work for Proctor & Gamble when Olestra got the FDA Approval, and we saw all the reports at the time... Basicly, Olestra is exactly the same as normal fat, but the molecules are too large(or was it small?) to be absorbed the way normal fat is. One consequence of this was that it went straight through the system, nad the Human Sphincter was not 'Tight' enough (LEAVE KIRK ALONE!!)to prevent 'Anal Leakage'. In fact one of the people on the FDA board had a whole scenario going on about the 17yr old Jock getting changed before a game, and all his friends seeing the 6 inch Skid Mark on his underwear smile.gif
Anywa, the FDA thought that the benefits of having a 100% non absorbant fat far out wieghed the American nation having to stop wearing white underpants smile.gif
