A nswer: Dear Charles, Di- etary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes the parts of plant foods/carbohy- drates that resist hydrolysis (diges- tion) in the human body. Nutrition- ally, fiber is classified as either insoluble (cannot be dissolved) or soluble (can be dissolved). Jr Insoluble fiber is passed undigested to the colon and passively attracts and s1ells up with water. Sol- uble fiber, on the other hand, undergoes active metabolic processing in the colon in the form of fermentation.

Together, insoluble and soluble fiber offer the fol- lowing health benefits: • Help control hunger, fullness and fat absorption; • Provide a laxative effect by im- proving "transit time"; • Act to "bind" lipids, resulting in reduced blood LDL cholesterol and harmful triglycerides; • Help control metabolic syndrome X and diabetes; • Increase colon health and prevent GI tract disorders; • May help deter breast cancer by decreasing circulating estrogen. Some individuals should be cau- tious with fiber and consult their doctor or nutritionist. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Shabbat Lights Key JN Phone Numbers: Candlelighting Friday, Feb. 2, 5:29 p.m. Shabbat Ends Saturday, Feb. 3, 6:33 p.m. Switchboard: (248) 354-6060 Candlelighting Friday, Feb. 9, 5:38 p.m. Shabbat Ends Saturday, Feb. 10, 6:42 p.m. Direct Your Questions For Barb And Counseling inquiries To: General News: (248) 351-5144 Business News: (248) 351-5148 Arts News: (248) 351-5142 Circulation: (248) 351-5174 Retail Ads: (248) 351-5151 Classified Ads: (248) 351-5100 t 01 PIWZA -AJ A• 2006 A GENERAL 1.,?"
