Fat substitutes are food additives that are used to replace dietary fat in low-fat or reduced-fat products. These substances mimic the taste and texture of fat but provide fewer calories. Some examples of fat substitutes include olestra, which is used in potato chips, and carrageenan, which is used in dairy products. While fat substitutes can help reduce calorie intake, some studies suggest that they may have negative health effects.
