The worries about digestive upsets were greatly exaggerated but
it seems that they had a large effect on the popularity of
Olestra. I looked for the Pringles no-fat "chips" but did not
see them recently. In general, the variety and popularity of
no-fat foods has much diminished. I must see if my cardiologist
has changed his dietary recommendations.

There were some other makes of chips using Olestra and I might
mention that I never detected any digestive upsets myself.
