Since it contains fatty acid moieties, Olestra is able to dissolve lipid-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and Vitamin A, along with carotenoids which are partially removed from foods consumed at the same time with Olestra. To counteract this, products made with Olestra are now fortified with oil soluble vitamins to compensate for these lost in fecal matter.
In addition, Olestra formulations have been known to cause diarrhea and anal leakage. When removing the Olestra warning label, the FDA cited a 6-week Procter & Gamble (makers of Olestra) study of more than 3000 people showing that an Olestra-eating group experienced only a minor increase in bowel movement frequency.
In 1999, researchers discovered that Olestra helps facilitate the removal of dioxins from the body, an unexpected side effect that may be of use in treating victims of dioxin poisoning.
