...studies, they argue that no one can be certain that olestra won't be a danger to public health. Besides, says Michael Jacobson, cspi's executive director, "we don't need olestra potato chips. It's crazy to add a substance to the food supply that makes people sick...
...food additives, fat-free fat falls under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 and the food-additives amendment of 1958.

Anyone would have been fooled by Joe Waldholtz, her "teddy bear" husband who took in stray dogs, fixed meals for sick friends and called his mother every day. And those pain-killers she needed after her caesarean section kept her from answering questions sooner. All these justifications were marinated in copious tears and stirred slowly until everyone but her was numb. The ordeal set a record in the talk-till-they...
