The Critical Role of Dietary Fiber
The role of dietary fiber has increasingly grown in prominence since as early as 1860 with the advent of the technology for refining sugar, followed soon thereafter by improved milling methods that began removing the fiber from flour. Improvements in rail and sea transport along with refrigeration, enabled the distribution of these foods to a worldwide marketplace. Prosperous, more industrialized
countries were predominantly the beneficiaries of these new wonder foods. Simultaneously, the populations of these countries began suffering en masse with digestive and bowel disorders. In the recent 50 years, as three generations have come to pass, the prevalence of these and multiple related disorders have reached a critical level. Foodstuffs have become so de-natured that they are almost unrecognizable from their whole, original state. Current statistics are undeniably revealing:

• Up to 100 million Americans suffer from varied forms of digestive diseases with an estimated total in lost wages and medical costs of over $50 billion per year. Each day, approximately 200,000 people miss work due to these disorders.

•Health statistics show that more Americans are hospitalized with digestive tract disorders than any other group of diseases. These medical costs tower at more than $20 billion per year.

• The annual sales of prescription and over the counter drug products for digestion related
maladies has grown to $2.5 billion per year, increasing at a steady rate of 10% over the last decade, contributing substantially to our overall health care costs. These include laxatives, antacids, anti-hemorrhoidal and anti-diarrheal preparations.

Why is Fiber Important?
Death begins in the colon, and so too does vibrant health. Choosing to supply your body with adequate dietary fiber on a daily basis is an important co-factor in bowel and colon super health. The following are some of the many essential functions that dietary fiber performs in the body:
• Reduces risk of colon cancer
• Escorts cholesterol and triglycerides out of the body
• Stimulates pancreatic enzyme activity
• Slows glucose absorption thus stabilizing blood glucose levels by slowing the conversion of
carbohydrates into sugar, creating a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down
• Aids in weight loss by providing a feeling of fullness
• Reduces calorie absorption
• May ease Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Enhances the absorption of bile acids and salts
• May aid in the prevention of some metabolic diseases
• Assists in the elimination of sluggish bowel and constipation
• May lower blood pressure, help decrease allergic response, and provide relief in inflammatory conditions
• Important for the respiration of vital organs in transporting oxygen into the blood stream, cells, tissue and organs
• Helps to maintain resilience and lubrication of the cells by binding with protein and cholesterol to form living membranes that hold body cells together.
