A pretty interesting effect primarily seen with soluble fibers is it impairs nutrient absorption for carbohydrates, fats and dietary protein. When fiber is digested there is a gel-like mass that is formed that digestive enzymes can’t get access to, and as a result the other nutrients end up getting carried out of the body. This means that high-fiber diets will result in less total caloric absorption, but not by much. Fiber may reduce total fat absorption by about 3%, protein by 5%, and there is no solid number found for carbohydrates at the moment, it’s probably just as small. Just so you get a clear idea of what we are talking about, an increase in dietary fiber in your diet from 18 to 36 grams per day might reduce total caloric absorption by 100 calories per day. Small, but in some cases it may be worth it.

Now, depending on how you want to look at this, it can be seen as either a good or bad thing. For individuals trying to lose weight, higher fiber diets will not only have positive effects on fullness, but will result in less total calories being absorbed from the diet. If weight gain is your goal, high fiber intake may not be the best course of action, but won’t be as detrimental as some others may say. Lastly, many experts have been known to say that fiber is zero calories or may actually have a negative calorie value and this simply is not true. While there is still some debate in the area, researchers are assigning a value of 1.5-2.0 calories/gram to most fibers.

Fermented Foods

Amazingly, as far back as recorded history goes, human beings have been eating fermented foods. Scientists in the mid to late 1800’s were studying the efficacy of fermented foods and started to credit them with being immune system boosters and increasing life expectancy.
