According to a study in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2000 a high intake of dietary fiber, particularly that of the soluble type, above the level recommended by the American Dietetic Association (ADA) improves glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers plasma lipid concentrations.
Fibers serve a very useful and much needed purpose.
Fibers act as an intestinal broom. After having traveled through the stomach, the duodenum and small intestine, these fiber particles reach the colon in the form of microscopic cellulose.
Without fiber, the colon and the body as a whole, cannot be maintained in a healthy condition. Fiber slows digestion and the release of sugars into the bloodstream. Eating more fiber helps the body control blood sugar.
Water soluble fiber is the most beneficial for controlling blood sugar. Hemicellulose, mucilages, gums and pectins are all water-soluble forms of fiber, all these fibers found in fresh vegetable juice.
Soluble fiber is excellent for the digestive tract. It also helps lower blood cholesterol, stabilized blood sugar and improves good bowel bacteria.
