Re: [fast5] Re: konjac

 

Hee hee. Well, those people were eating other stuff besides konjac. Konjac is actually digested, so it doesn't add to bulk. Rather the reverse, actually, which is why I combine it with psyllium, which does add bulk. People who eat a lot of plant material ... much of the cellulose just isn't digestible at all. 


In the article it points out that the truly undigestible fibers ... like grain bran ... aren't really the desirable ones. What you want, ideally, are the semi-digestible polysaccharides. The best ones that I've read about (and tried) are konjac, pectin, and psyllium, in about that order. Also seaweed.
