Question 1

how does olestra affect nutrient absorption

Answer 1

Olestra interacts with fat-loving (lipophilic) compounds in a way that affects fat absorption in the body. Normally, during digestion, fats and fat-soluble nutrients (like beta-carotene) are combined into tiny droplets called micelles, which help them get absorbed into the bloodstream. When olestra is present, it can grab onto these fat-soluble nutrients instead of allowing them to join the micelles. As a result, those nutrients might end up being excreted from the body along with the non-absorbed olestra, leading to lower absorption of important nutrients.
