"Z Trim gives us the right pourability along with a thick, rich, and smooth mouthfeel," he said.

Walden Farms' increase in volume purchases of Z Trim is due to a sustained surge in the retail sale of Walden Farms products. Dr. Sherwood attributes the increase in consumer sales of  Walden Farm products to a variety of factors, most notably due to an increasing number of consumers eating at home and looking closely at how their diets affect their health. "It just exploded around January and hasn't let up," Dr. Sherwood said.  Walden Farms recently added a few new products to their line, all of which contain Z Trim.
