Imagine eating everything delicious you want -- with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldn’t it
New "fake fat" products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So it’s up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating. Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can’t be digested at all.
Normally, special chemicals in the intestines (肠) "grab" molecules of regular fat and break them down so
A. contains plenty of nutrients
B. makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious
C. renders foods calorie-free while retaining their vitamins
D. makes foods easily digestible

D. somewhat controversial
Whenever advertisers want you to stop thinking about the product and to start thinking about something bigger, better, or more attractive than the product, they use that very popular word "like". The word "like" is the advertiser’ s equivalent of the magician’ s use of misdirection. "Like" gets you to ignore the product and concentrate on the claim the advertiser is making about it. "For skin like peaches and cream" claims the ad for a skin cream. What is this ad really claiming It doesn’ t say this cream will give you peaches-and-cream skin. There is no verb in this claim, so it doesn’ t even mention using the product. How is skin ever like "peaches and cream" Remember, ads must be read exactly according to the dictionary definition of words. This ad is making absolutely no promise for this skin cream. If you think this cream will give you soft, smooth, and youthful-looking skin, you are the one who has
A. what the advertiser says about the product
B. what magic the product really possesses
C. why the advertiser promotes the product
D. why the product is as good as promised
