Not All Dietary Fiber Is Created Equal

[siablo14]

I think some of you are missing the main points of the article. After reading about the differences between inulin (fruit, vegetable) type fiber and Arabinoxylan (grain) fiber I'm going to buy some psyllium husk and add a scoop to my morning workout recovery drink.

Why not just eat whole wheat bread and shredded cabbage and carrots?

Why not just eat whole wheat bread and shredded cabbage and carrots?

I already do that but I don’t eat a lot of bread. Go back and read again, the particular fiber I want to increase isn’t the fruit and vegetables variety (inulin) but the other, the grain type, Arabinoxylan.

[QUOTE]Arabinoxylan is a grain fiber found in common supplements such as Metamucil and psyllium husk. Inulin is found naturally in fruits and vegetables such as bananas and asparagus.

"It's very, very clear arabinoxylan overall does reduce cholesterol," said Snyder.

The other fiber, inulin, didn't work for lowering cholesterol in most participants, but did trigger inflammation and in some higher doses led to a spike in a marker for liver damage.[QUOTE]

They do say to start with a little and increase the dosage slowly, I think to avoid exactly what you are describing.

i decided instead of psyllium husks to go with a couple tbs full of flax seed meal. Similar fiber type but with additional extra nutrients including omega 3.

Make sure you buy the dark whole seed flax seed and buy a small coffee grinder to grind them, the become rancid and lose their potency if ground sitting on the shelf for long times so you are just getting the fiber without the healthy fats, avoid oxidation by doing that and then ing3sting quickly in food or shakes.

That's how it should be.
