Olestra
Olestra is a substitute for fat used in potato chips. And we can all agree that potato chips taste heavenly, but that small piece of heaven comes with a price. There are many harmful things associated with olestra consumption.
The Food and Drug Administration approved this chemical compound back in 1996, and although it is considered generally safe, olestra still has some serious side effects. For instance, did you know that olestra can mess up your vitamin A, K, D, and E absorption?
It can also cause severe gastrointestinal problems. Just try to limit your potato chips intake; it doesn’t benefit your health.
