NEW YORK - Don't kid yourself that those fat-free potato chips are going to make you look better in a bathing suit.
Scientists at Purdue University say chips that contain fake fat don't seem to save you calories in the long run. In fact, it's the opposite.
Rats who were fed Pringles Light with Olestra gained more weight than those that chomped on regular, high-fat Pringles.
Researchers say without actual fat in the food, the body gets confused and wants to eat more.
