WW: Is This Revolutionary Low-Calorie Fat Substitute Safe?

Have you heard of this new “revolutionary” weight loss food?

It is being marketed as a low-calorie alternative that’s now showing up in our food and favorite treats like ice cream…

On today’s show, I want to go over what this product is and whether it’s a healthy and safe option, so you can decide for yourself if it’s something you want to include in your diet.

I’ll also share what to look for on labels so you can easily identify it.

So, join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3162, where we explore what EPG is and whether this revolutionary low-calorie fat substitute is safe. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. What is Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol (EPG)

EPG is a man-made fat substitute created by altering glycerol (a natural component of fats) and combining it with other substances. This process creates a fat-like substance that has fewer calories because it isn’t fully digested by the body, allowing it to pass through without being fully absorbed.

2. What are the Uses of EPG:

EPG is mainly used as a fat substitute in highly processed foods. Because it has fewer calories than regular fats, it helps lower the calorie content of these foods while still keeping the same taste and texture.

3. What Are Other Names for EPG

EPG may be listed under different names on food labels, such as Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol, EPG Oil, or Low-Calorie Fat Substitute.
