Another example of the US assuming low-fat or zero-fat was the way to reduce obesity.What’s that on? Never heard of this substance.

but I just can't forget that side effect name
"In the late 2000s, olestra lost its popularity due to supposed side effects and has been largely phased out, but products containing the ingredient can still be purchased at grocery stores in some countries."
