WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- A
food fight between consumer
groups and Proctor and Gamble
Co. over the labeling of snack
foods made with a fat substitute
goes before the Food and Drug Administration next
month, the FDA said Tuesday.
It said it would hold a public meeting to review
new medical studies about complaints that
Olestra, a food additive made by the company,
causes cramps and mild diarrhea in a small number
of consumers.
The fat substitute was launched last month in a
variety of U.S. chips and salty snack foods.
Proctor and Gamble, which spent some $500
million to develop the food
additive, wants the FDA to relax its requirement
that foods with the additive must carry a warning
label about possible digestive effects and
nutrient loss.
Olestra gives foods the taste derived from fat,
but the substance is not absorbed by the body.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest
claimed its study of 2,000 consumers showed
Olestra caused abdominal cramping and mild
diarrhea. It opened a toll-free telephone line
for consumers to report adverse effects.
The company maintains that its studies show the
rate of gastrointestinal problems is the same for
consumers who eat chips made with or without
Olestra.
It is also asking the FDA for permission to use
Olestra in other foods such as ice cream, onion
rings and cooking oil, which would open up huge
new markets.
The FDA's food advisory committee said it would
meet June 15-16 for scientists to review new
gastrointestinal studies from Proctor and Gamble
and others.
The panel will consider the agency's earlier
finding that the additive is safe, and will make
recommendations on food labeling requirements.
P&G has said it expects the food additive to
generate sales of $400 million by 2000.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Citing possible severe side effects and risk of
cancer, a food watchdog group pressed the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration on Wednesday to either pull
the fat substitute, olestra, from the market or
require more prominent, strongly worded labels about
potential problems.
The nonprofit Center for Science in the Public
Interest (CSPI) marshaled scientists and unhappy
consumers for a Washington news conference, getting
a jump on FDA meetings next week to review the
product.
The CSPI also filed petitions with the Federal Trade
Commission, charging that olestra advertising
misleads because it doesn't disclose side effects.
Olestra, sold as the brand Olean, is a synthetic
chemical made of sugar and vegetable oil that passes
through the body undigested.
Labels on foods made with olestra say the
zero-calorie fake fat can cause unpleasant
gastrointestinal effects, including cramps and
diarrhea, and can block absorption of certain
nutrients.
But CSPI says those warnings aren't enough. Citing a
handful of consumers who sought emergency-room
treatment for those effects, CSPI said olestra is a
"gamble with health."
Regina McGrath of Hannastown, Pennsylvania, said
that after eating a dozen potato chips, she went to
a hospital emergency room where doctors gave her
intravenous morphine for pain that was "worse than
childbirth."
The FTC had no comment.
Manufacturer defends its product
Manufacturer Procter &
Gamble and Frito-Lay,
which makes
olestra-laden WOW!
chips, vigorously
defended olestra.
Proctor and Gamble
spokesman Bryan
McCleary said tens of
millions of people
have consumed foods
made with olestra
since it came on the
market in 1996, with
relatively few complaints about digestive side
effects.
"This is a safe product; it's fully approved by the
FDA," he said.
Tens of millions of people have eaten over 500
million servings of olestra-made chips, the
companies said. Only about one in 50,000 people
report any complaint, and the vast majority are mild
stomach upset, company spokesmen said.
Carotenoid depletion a concern
Concerns about possible cancer risk are relatively
new and are linked to the way olestra passes through
the body without being digested.
Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public
Health said olestra takes with it several important
fat-soluable vitamins and cancer-fighting nutrients
called carotenoids, nutrients considered one
component in preventing cancer and heart disease.
He predicted that if people consume olestra long
enough, there might be thousands of illnesses from
carotenoid depletion. Extra vitamins are added to
olestra, but Willett said its effects on carotenoids
are dramatic.
"Even the amount of olestra in a small, 1-ounce bag
of potato chips will lower blood carotenoids by over
50 percent if consumed on a daily basis," he said.
Studies show that a high intake of carotenoids also
helps protect people from degenerative eye diseases.
Carotenoids are found in red, yellow and orange
vegetables.
The FDA maintains olestra is safe, but that concerns
will be publicly debated next week when its
independent food advisory committee spends three
days reexamining the product, a routine procedure
now that it is widely sold.
The panel will look at 6,700 side-effect reports
filed with the FDA, as well as olestra's nutrient
impact.

Haven't a clue about using those superfluous musicians there. Perhaps wer could whip a tasty sauce for them and they could be served. What I am still afraid of is if they will feel pain. Pain is the paramount question in the minds of the truly whacked-out!
(quite welcome, m'dear!) As to the Jellyfish - I do not know anyone who has tasted it, but this weekend's Little League games should give me ample opportunity of meeting someone who can shed some light as to taste and texture. I put them in this category since, when offered by me at a party in Drool, they were so offended they relegated the salad to a distant table where the poi and Spam were housed. I though it might be universal, but now I am most curious!

The thing that sounds offensive about eating a jellyfish (even in salad) is that it is going to be a salty sort of jelly. That's the weird thing.

Indeed! After all, it would take ages and ages to chew such a thing into a state where it can be swallowed.
