maintenance, the ultimate purification of fiber often implies physical–chemical changes that need
to be carefully remembered when studies are carried out.
The “Fiber Hypothesis” of Trowell and Burkitt is now beyond a hypothesis: it is a truth that
can help people lead much healthier lives and prevent many chronic diseases.
