Z-Trim Makes Chicago-Area News as a Functional Food That Reduces Fats,
Not Taste

Two separate articles appeared in up to 55 Pioneer Press newspapers in
the Chicago suburbs today, each heralding the benefits of Z-Trim.

The first article, entitled "No-Taste, No-Waste Wonders", covered the
topic of functional foods and the health benefits they carry in addition
to the nutrients they contain. In the article, American Dietetic
Association spokesman Dave Grotto identifies the trend that is creating so
much interest in Z-Trim. "It's very clear consumers are tired of hearing
what they can’t do, and now they want to hear what they can do," he
said.

Also spotting the trend, Robert Kushner, M.D., the medical director of
the Wellness Institute at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said that
products like Z-Trim illustrate how food companies are responding to
public calls for healthier processed foods.

The second article, entitled 'Functional Foods', reviewed Z-Trim
recipes in the 'Foods' section and related that writer Stephanie Fosnight and
Food editor Carol Mueller were 'impressed' with the full taste, less
fat benefits of Z-Trim. Fosnight remarked that 'If nobody had told us
about the calorie-reducing and fiber-increasing replacements, we never
would have known they were there.'
