Useful information about dietary fibres

Targeted research on dietary fibres started about 30 years ago, and by today it has become fashionable to overemphasise the importance of fibres. Professional literature makes it clear that ideal fibre intake is 20-30 g/day. Dietary fibres absorb lots of liquid – it is very important to drink enough. Dietary fibres are mostly found in food of cereal origin, vegetables and fruits. Overconsumption (above 50 g/day) of fibres may have harmful side effects, therefore it is vital to select the right types of food. Look for information on the packaging to learn about fibre content/100 g. It is advisable for producers to indicate the 8-parameter nutritional value table. All the necessary laboratory examination for this is performed by SGS laboratories at a favourable price.
