Olestra is a non-absorbable dietary fat substitute [sucrose polyester (SPE)]
that exhibits chelation characteristics. It is used to make fat-free potato
chips.
Benefits
- accelerated the patients' intestinal excretion of many chemical toxins by
eight to ten fold.
- regular consumption of olestra may provide a therapeutic approach for
reducing the body burden of persistent lipophilic contaminants
- there was a 10% reduction in total plasma cholesterol, a 14% reduction in
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and a 10% reduction in triglyceride
concentration
Risks
- as with all chelation substances, the good is removed with the bad --
hence the need for minerals and vitamin replacement
