Salatrim

Salatrim is modified triacylglycerol that is rich in short-chain fatty acids and stearic acid. Salatrim is used as a lower-calorie fat replacer.

Salatrim and weight loss
Some people claim that salatrim has a reduced absorption in the small intestine which may lead to greater amounts of fat in the gastrointestinal tract, which may decrease appetite and energy intake through the release of appetite-regulating gastrointestinal hormones. Studies show that Salatrim had a modestly more suppressive effect on appetite than does a traditional fat. Gastrointestinal hormones do not appear to be involved.
