Oh, yes. “The Center for Science and the Public Interest.”

And that was back in 1996. I remember because Rush would show those ads and it the last year of his TV show.

Same group that year released what was presented as a bombshell study and had a widely covered, dramatic press conference that donuts and similar foods were loaded with calories and not healthy.

No, I made no reference to that group.

I was describing my own “uncontrollable greasy discharge,” along with that of others who had more than 8-10 Olestra potato chips.

You seem to not know, so here's something for you to read:

The warning put on Olestra products was this:

This Product Contains Olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. Olestra inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. Vitamins A, D, E, and K have been added.

Wiping after that first and only time of Olestra chips was like removing a bizarre mixture of buttercream frosting and liquid car wax—you needed a shower or two.
