<<I think I heard Dan Rather say last night on television that 'scientists
have
found new fat substitute to be good for your heart'. I wonder how they figure
that?!!!!>>
I've heard that Olestra blocks the absorbtion of fat-soluble vitamins, making
a diet rich in this "heart healthy" fat substitute (yes, I heard Dan Rather
too!) a cause of vitamin deficiency. I think Olestra is nasty stuff.
And you're right - how could they possibly figure, at this point in time, that
it is "heart-healthy"?
