Indeed, though the last major miracle food product, Procter & Gamble's olestra fat substitute, helped make Frito-Lay's Wow! chips the best-selling new product of 1998, concerns continue over olestra's possible digestive side effects. It's important to remember, says Horowitz, that problems often don't appear in new foods until a lot of pepole have eaten them for prolonged periods.
