Z-Trim

Z-Trim

Z-Trim is a fat substitute developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture made of natural dietary fibers. It is currently licensed for manufacture to Z-Trim Holdings.

This product was created as a health and diet aid; it has no calories, is natural, and can greatly reduce the fat in foods "with little or no change in flavor or texture," according to a review by the leading consumer reviews organization. [ [http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/food/news/z-trim-fat-substitute-11-07/overview/z-trim-fat-substitute-ov.htm ConsumerReports.org - Z Trim fat substitute ] ] Some schools have begun to use the product in their cafeterias, where it has been popular with students. [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/18/ap/health/mainD8MNVCVG1.shtml ; www.emaxhealth.com/74/11115.html]

Despite the positive independent reviews the product has received, the company has been losing money and as of April 2008 its stock price has fallen by more than 75% in the past year.

The company is listed as ZTM on AMEX. The company's website is http://www.ztrim.com, and products are available for sale to the public at this website.
