Olestra 'FAT-FREE FAT'

Olestra 'FAT-FREE FAT'??? Oh! Lestra! It sounds like a musical to me. I imagine scads of scantily clad showgirls with big headdresses kicking it Vegas Style as the dance and sing the praises of Olestra, the fat subsitute. Oh! Oh! O-Les-Tra - eat it up and the pounds melt right away! And your favourite treat - will taste more sweet, when you know that it will not make you gain! Yeah, something like that. But …

…battle of the bulge is marketable. Is that their fault? No. That's a whole other subject. However, because the clear message here is no matter how unpleasant you feel, no matter what the toll on your health is- being thin is the ultimate goal. Now one argument would be Thin vs. Healthy! Conclusion: Olean, Olestra its's all a dangerous game. In the interest of fairness, several doctors do endorse Olestra as a valid 'food' choice.
