It has been hypothesized that phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables are responsible for the inverse association observed between diets high in fruits and vegetables and risk of certain chronic diseases and cancer, This paper assesses the potential for olestra to affect the absorption of dietary phytochemicals and estimates the effect of olestra on the availability of carotenoids when olestra-containing snacks and foods containing carotenoids are eaten in free-living diets, Experimental data compiled on the effects of olestra on the availability of 29 compounds, mainly nutrients and oral medications, showed that olestra affects the availability of only molecules having octanol-water partition coefficients greater than similar to 7.5. Partition coefficients compiled for 382 dietary phytochemicals showed that only two classes of phytochemicals, phytosterols and carotenoids, contain molecules with octanol-water partition coefficients in the range in which olestra could potentially affect bioavailability. The potential effect on the bioavailability of phytosterols would be
