Eating Diet Foods with Olestra Causes Declines in Carotenoids and Fat-Soluble Vitamins
Eating diet foods with olestra causes huge declines in both fat-soluble vitamins like A & D, and also in carotenoid levels, including beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein. These findings are significant, because fat-soluable vitamins and carotenoids are all very important for good health. Carotenoids, for example, seem to protect against certain cancers and are important for eye health. Vitamins A & D boost immune system function and also help make strong bones and teeth. In addition, glucose intolerance and hence diabetes and obesity have been associated with low amounts of Vitamin D. So eating fake fats may very well hinder your dieting efforts!
Eating Diet Foods with Fake Fat Causes Many Gastrointestinal Problems
In addition, eating diet foods with olestra in them causes many different gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea, bowel movement urgency, and more frequent and looser BM's. We need to stop looking at new fangled diet foods with "non-foods" like olestra in them, and instead go back to eating the way our ancestors did.
More Diet Foods, But We Are Gaining Weight
Funny thing, when we introduce foods that are not really foods, but are made in a lab, our bodies seem to react adversely. These gastrointestinal symptoms seem to indicate that our bodies are trying to get rid of the olestra we introduced into our bodies from eating this diet food. Note: Americans spent close to $63 billion on diet food products in 2005, 18% more than the $53 billion spent in 2002, but every year obesity rates go up.
