Olestra
Olestra is a food additive that is used as a fat substitute. It is defined as "a mixture of hexa-, hepta-, and octaesters prepared from sucrose and long-chain fatty acids from edible fats and oils such as soybean, corn, or cottonseed." It is used as a replacement for as much as 100% of the fats used for preparing snack foods (Prince & Welschenbach, 1998, p. 565). "
