More than just fibre 'High-MAC' ingredients for product positionings around gut health

摘要

High-fibre foods have been a topic of discussion in industry and among consumers for years. But after new findings on intestinal health, GoodMills Innovation set out to discover a dietary fibre 2.0 - and found it. Anyone who wants to do something positive for their intestines and, therefore, their health should eat fibre. It has a satiating effect, stimulates intestinal peristalsis, is important for the energy supply of the intestinal cells, helps to avoid blood sugar peaks after meals and, according to studies, may lower cholesterol. The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) recommends in its Carbohydrates and Health report eating at least 30 grams of dietary fibre a day - a particularly important compensation for a diet consisting of too much sugar, fat and white flour products, which is often unbalanced in the western world.
