The Effect of Fibre on Stools and Transit-times, and its Role in the Causation of Disease, by Burkitt, Walker, and Painter

A study on 1972, by Burkitt, Walker, and painters "The effects of fiber on feces and transit time and its role in causality of disease" is a new article that lay the foundation for hundreds of subsequent studies. For the past 40 years the authors have studied nutrients based on the concept of development and until recently people have hardly thought of their role in physiological activities. Since its publication in 1972, hundreds of published journal articles cite the study and further understanding the multifaceted relationship between meals and diseases based on its innovative conclusion.

It was not known as "fiber" until the 1950s, but Hippocrates recognized the laxative effect of dietary fiber in 430 B.C. However, it was not until the 1960s that scientists began to seriously study the role of fibers in health. The study at the time included colon cancer, diverticulosis, acne, gall stones, appendicitis, diabetes and some forms of heart disease in rural populations in Africa with higher fiber content compared to typical American and European meals The incidence was shown. It is lower than Americans and Europeans. Today, rural African society has few heart diseases, cancer, diabetes. Although studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between high fiber diet and health, research distinguishes the effects of fibers from factors of other diet and lifestyle habits that may affect health It is difficult.

In this article, we will investigate the physical and chemical properties of dietary fiber and explain the importance in preventing diseases. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are ultimately related to human health as a whole. The focus is on the structure of the various forms of dietary fiber and how it affects each type of physical and chemical properties that have different pros and cons for human health. Ways to help fibers prevent disease are also widely discussed. Cautious treatment of excessive indulgence may lead to harmful effects, but to demonstrate that clinical dietitians adequately encourage the intake of dietary fiber increase.
