Why have I heard discussion about Oleans potential effect on carotenoids?
The role of carotenoids in health has been a popular subject of investigation over the past decade and fruits and vegetables represent the primary source of carotenoids in our diet. People who have a history of eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables are known to have a lower risk for certain chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. Some people believe this is evidence that carotenoids are the key dietary components which provide this health benefit. Olestra can affect the uptake of some carotenoids from foods because some of these dietary components are fat-soluble. But its important to know theres no significant impact on nutrition because snacking is just a small part of a balanced diet. This, combined with a lack of scientific agreement that carotenoids actually provide a health benefit, are strongly supportive of the FDAs conclusion that olestra does not need to be supplemented with carotenoids.
