Most of us could use a bit extra fiber in our diets, and adding it without
sacrificing the taste of food may get much simpler soon.
Australian researchers at RMIT University have created a modified starch
product that can be added to food without changing its flavor, appearance,
or texture.
Its name is FiberX, and local starches, including wheat, corn, and cassava,
were used to make it. Like genuine fiber, it doesn’t break down in the
human gut, allowing bacteria in the colon to ferment it and possibly
enhancing digestion.
