Bottom line is simple. If you choose to consume Olestra products, do it knowledgeably, in moderation and pay attention to how your body responds to the product. If you begin to have negative side effects from the product, discontinue use. Use caution when giving children products containing Olestra. And most important of all, don't substitute Olestra snack foods for fruits, vegetables and grains in your diet.
Olestra products are, after all, simply snacks.
