Limiting oil absorption in the intestines sounds like a recipe for greasy diarrhea like Olestra caused.
I was gonna say, we already tried this.
Ooh, diarrhea chips!
It is. Ask anyone with pancreatic insufficiency.
Just ask anyone with gallbladder problems....
It's lame how Olestra got such a bad rap. Like, it's an oil that your body doesn't absorb so it doesn't make you fat. It's totally fine in moderation but what do you think happens when you binge eat it??
