Natural Fiber Against Cancer

The term fiber is used to cover several vegetable substances such as lignin and a series of carbohydrates such as cellulose or hemicellulose.



Most of these compounds are from the vegetables cell walls, which we can deduce that no fruit juices contain fiber. We could also include in this definition other polysaccharides such as pectin, mucilages or gums.


All these substances are more or less digestible, except cellulose, although it is perfectly digested by herbivores, the human digestive system is unable to transform. Fiber is found mainly in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Fiber generally has a lot hydratability, which swells when mixed with water.


This fact, coupled with no cellulose transformation results in fecal volume increase. Thus, the intestine is mechanically stimulated, greatly facilitating the movements. All this makes the fiber in a large intestinal protector.


On the one hand improves intestinal transit, as to increase the dregs volume, regulates the evacuation frequency and on the other hand, clean the intestine of toxic products: sweeps carcinogens products and prevents the undesirable putrefaction formation. Thus acts favorably on the bacterial flora. Also reduce the transit time, also hinders the fats absorption.


Furthermore the fiber metabolism produces compounds that decrease the bile salts toxicity, considerably reducing their power carcinogen. Therefore, it is a great anticancer agent especially prevnting colorectal cancer.


It has been shown that fiber excess can also be harmful because it can cause an exaggerated fecal volume excessively that irritate the gut. However , this excess is only possible through the dietary fiber preparations overuse. Eating cereals, fruits and vegetables in their natural state.it is no danger fiber overdose.
