Z-Trim compared to another fat substitute, olestra, is different.
Olestra can cause gastrointestinal distress and take vitamins and carotenoids
out of the body. The new substitute does not have those affects. Inglett says
that you should eat more of the kind of fibers that make up Z-Trim to reduce
the chances of getting intestinal disorders.
But there are some people who argue with Inglett's theory on his new

olestra," says Margo Wootan, a senior scientist at the Center for Science in the
Public Interest in Washington, D.C. "Fiber .....

Words: 4322 - Pages: 16.... Narcissistic Personality
The narcissist's grandiose behavior is designed to reaffirm his or her
sense of adequacy. Since the narcissist is incapable of asserting his or her
own sense of adequacy, the narcissist seeks to be admired by others. However,

her to risk any criticism. Therefore, meaningful emotional interactions with

keeping them at a distance the narcissist is usually able to maintain the
illusion of grandiosity no matter how people respond. Thus, when people praise

Some people will say that abortion is not a matter of life and death,
but medical research proves that the fetus is a living organism. People also
argue that a woman ha .....
