    No. Do some research on Olestra. Google it and read what you find. It's not exactly the best thing to be eating...

    Olestra is used in lowfat Pringles.

    It is a food ingredient used my Manufactuers, not an consumers product

    Some Frying Oils are based on it, but it is not great when heated.
