In particular, they were trying to identify a kind of fat that premature infants might digest more easily...
...does the body digest and absorb triglycerides but not a sucrose polyester such as olestra? Both types of molecule, explains P&G chemist Ron Janacek, are too large to pass unaltered through the mucous membrane of the small intestine and into the bloodstream. With triglycerides, an intestinal enzyme known as lipase acts as a kind of molecular scissors, fitting into slots between the fatty acids and snipping them apart. But when there are too many fatty acids clumped too close together, as happens with olestra and other types of sucrose polyester, these slots are concealed and the enzyme cannot...

And so on. But though the world at large will see only the most banal digest of student opinion, the professors and TFs will see everything raw and unexpurgated: each receives copies of the forms exactly as they have been filled...
