What's with Fiber

Meld me wanneer het boek is toegevoegd

According to the authors, fibre is not the simple roughage it was once thought to be and it does not come alone. Found in plant foods, fibre is a complex substance and in whole foods it is always accompanied by a number of nutrients, from antioxidants, essential oils, minerals, and proteins, to vitamins and beyond. This book spells out exactly why good health depends on fibre's presence in everyone's diet.

In discussing health and disease, it is important to define fiber as that part of fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetables that is not broken down by the enzymes in your digestive system, and so is not absorbed the way you absorb fats, proteins, and carbohydrate (starch and sugars). The fact that fiber is not digested by the enzymes in the stomach and small intestine previously led many to consider fiber a worthless component to be discarded (as in bran from wheat, or rice polishings from rice)
