Olestra doesn't exactly "rob your body of the ability to absorb vitamins". Because it's a fat-like substance, it absorbs fat-soluble vitamins. Because your body doesn't treat Olestra as digestible, and so shits it straight out, those vitamins go with it. The main reason no one uses it anymore, though, is because it's deeply unpleasant to shit large amounts of undigested fat-like stuff.

Potassium is a dangerous substance that produces large explosions when exposed to air, chlorine is a poisonous gas who's usage in wartime is widely recognized as a crime against humanity. Can you believe that, every day, corporations sprinkle something with BOTH of these elements together on people's food? Vacation providers even take large amounts of cash to send people to dangerous locations next to toxic bodies of water poisoned with the stuff, where they're supposed to SWIM in it!
