Starch

I’m a big fan of unrefined potato starch. Be prepared for some weeeeird dreams.--- powderizedbookworm 1 year agohttps://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/czbpgx/a_theory_that_parkinsons_disease_can_arise_in_the/eyxzwe6/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3A few years back, I briefly covered an article about how “carbs will make you lose weight” because so many readers had emailed about it. It turned out that the “carbs” in the article were resistant starch, a type of carbohydrate that our digestive enzymes cannot break down. [...] I didn’t dismiss resistant starch, but I did downplay its importance, characterizing it as “just another type of prebiotic” – important but not necessary so long as you were eating other fermentable fibers. While technically true, we’re fast learning that resistant starch may be a special type of prebiotic with a special place in the human diet.--- Mark SissonThe Definitive Guide to Resistant Starch | Mark's Daily Apple. "7 years ago." https://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-definitive-guide-to-resistant-starch/"Resistant starch (which is starch that is resistant to digestion) falls, both by definition and functionality, in the much broader category of dietary fiber, which is defined as is the indigestible portion of food derived from plants.""Marcos Miguel Gaser, Food Engineer and a Herbalife member.Answered 4 years ago · Author has 626 answers and 1.1M answer views". https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-dietary-fiber-and-resistant-starch
"Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates formed from long chains of simple sugars. Starch and fiber are different types of polysaccharide, with an important difference. Humans have enzymes that allow it to digest starch, but fiber is indigestible and passes through the digestive system to the gut microbiota , which can digest it."https://trickle.app/drip/18209-starch-and-fiber-are-polysaccharides-with-a-very-different-effect-on-blood-glucose/
