NY Times Article on benefit of high fiber dietFrom: Anne (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 27 Mar 2002 14:04:41 -0600 (CST)
I'm a big fan of Jane Brody of the NY Times, her latest article talks about diverticulosis and the importance of fiber, you can read it at: She writes of fiber: "The potential benefits of a high-fiber diet accrue not just to one's digestion. Dietary fiber also helps to prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering blood levels of cholesterol, it helps to maintain a stable blood sugar level and thus prevent adult-onset diabetes, and it helps a person achieve and maintain a normal body weight. Dietary fiber gives people something for nothing. Since it passes through the digestive tract undigested, it enhances feelings of satiety without adding calories to a person's diet. In other words, fiber fills you up before it fills you out."
