Executives at the Miami-based fast food giant say these Satisfries are less calorific and fatty thanks to a new batter recipe designed to block oil absorption. This move is Burger King’s first big gamble under recently appointed CEO Daniel Schwartz, a 32-year-old partner at 3G Capital, the Brazilian private equity firm with a majority stake in the burger chain. It comes after months of research and development, plus a level of secrecy that meant reporters had to sign non-disclosure agreements before tasting a Satisfry. |

If one looks closely enough on the back of the bag of the infamous WOW chips made with Olean�s Olestra, they would find a small warning label. This label reads, �This Product contains Olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. Olestra inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. Vitamins A, D, E, and K have been added.� This label states only the beginning of the potentially hazardous side affects of Olestra. Many articles warn of the hazards of Olestra in the body�s normal bodily functions. An article in the Journal of Nutrition states that �Olestra is a mixture of polymers formed from sucrose and fatty acids derived from edible fats and oils. It is not absorbed or digested and can serve as a zero calorie replacement for dietary fat. Because olestra is lipophilic and not absorbed, it has the potential to interfere with the absorption of other dietary components� ( [link to www.olestra.com).] If olestra and certain vitamins and nutrients are consumed in the same meal, olestra can prevent the natural absorption of some vitamins and nutrients. In studies done by the Journal of Nutrition on pigs and humans, �Olestra did not affect the availability of water-soluble micronutrinets or the absorption and utilization of macronutrients. Olestra reduces the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K; however, the effects can be offset by adding specified amounts of the vitamins to Olestra foods� ( [link to www.olestra.com).] On the back of the bag of WOW Brand chips it states that these specific vitamins are added to the product to account for the potential loss of the vitamins. The Journal of Nutrition states that �Olestra�s effects on vitamins D and E in humans can be offset by increasing dietary levels of these vitamins� ( [link to www.olestra.com).] The nutritional effects of Olestra involving vitamins A, D, E, and K and fat absorption are virtually harmless, if the olestra product is consumed in moderation and the consumer does not neglect the recommended nutrients in a healthy diet. Although Olestra does not seem harmful long term, it has other side effects that can be potentially fatal. |

Not that sliced cheese wrapped in plastic is actual cheese, but I shall call it cheese for arguments sake since they do.
