studies by the federal government have shown repeatedly that
the average adult in America eats only 12-15 grams of fiber on a daily
basis. This fiber is usually in the form of cereals, whole grain breads,
and some fruits and vegetables.
By eating sufficient fiber we decrease our intake of high fatty foods and also aid in our gastrointestinal elimination process. Most of us associate the word “fiber” with bulking agents which generally are the insoluble fibers, but the more important fiber is soluble fiber which binds excess bile acids produced by the metabolism of fatty foods thus interrupting the production of cholesterol. There are two kinds of dietary
(edible) fiber:

Now, the real significance of all this is a scientifically proven fact that if we can increase our daily intake of soluble fiber by an additional 15 grams, we have a great opportunity to reduce not only our total cholesterol, but also our LDL, and increase our HDL. And in addition to this, the increased amount of soluble fiber stabilizes the insulin level which many times diminishes the requirements of treatment for Type II diabetes. So far, there is only one FDA approved soluble fiber product supplement that has the potential to accomplish all of this and there are many scientific papers proving this, including information from The Cleveland Clinic. |
