Detox with Pringles? You're Kidding Right?

This is an old running joke in my environmental medicine group run by Dr. Walter Crinnion. Keep a canister of Pringles around for PCB contamination. Why?

Because Pringles contain olestra - a zero calorie fat that prevents the body from absorbing PCB's. You can't absorb Olestra.  Everything slides right through. Even the label warns against anal leakage. That is why something so bad can be so good.

Researchers found that PCB's were cleared much faster during a one-year trial using Olestra.  Alabama residents with high PCB levels who ate 12 pringles per day made with Olestra decreased their PCB rate by 8%, an eight-fold increase in the rate of removal compared to others who ate chips with vegetable oil at 1%. Olestra was great at solubilizing PCB's (fat-soluble compound) in the intestine allowing for better excretion.
