Orlistat (Xenical) has been reformulated and made available for over-the counter sales as ALLI.  Loudly trumpeted is the fact that in its new manifestation, it no longer has the same level of unpleasant side effects of the original. 

After all, who wants "oily spotting in your undergarments, oily or fatty stools, orange or brown colored oil in your stool, gas with discharge, an oily discharge, loose stools, or an urgent need to go to the bathroom, inability to control bowel movements, an increased number of bowel movements, or stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rectal pain" - at whatever level.

Perhaps the fact that it also may cause cancer of the colon is immaterial?

For all too long, "eye appeal "and "mouth appeal", the 2 main ways in which manufacturers of mass foods have tried to manipulate our urge to buy, have been totally dependent on unhealthy ingredients.  In fact, many of the colors used over the years have been banned because they were truly deadly leaving only a few still to be attacked because they are more subtly harmful.

It is incontrovertible, however, that color plays a large role in deciding whether a food will taste good:  and consumers waking up to the benefits of fruits and berries are increasingly demanding that the coloring source serve 2 purposes: our health as well as our taste buds.
