Soluble fiber comes most often from nonwheat types of fiber, such as from fruits or vegetables, and is broken down by the beneficial bacteria in your gut; these bacteria rely on soluble fiber as their own food source. Generally, the more soluble fiber in your diet, the more you promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the colon. These bacteria are considered beneficial because in the process of breaking down soluble fiber, they produce by-products that are important for our health. For example, when acidophilus bacteria digest soluble fiber (e.g.

If consumption of DNA containing the 35S were that dangerous, then humans would have more to fear from vegetables infected with the cauliflower mosaic virus than from transgenic plants. Ho insisted that the numbers didn't matter. When a person eats a cauliflower infected with the virus containing the 35S promoter, she argued, the virus is wrapped in a protective protein coat that renders it not infectious to humans, so eating it "is of little consequence."5 She argued that when the promoter is used in transgenic plants, it has no such protective coat. It is "naked" and may be more troublesome.

Most of us think that if our diets include ample amounts of lean meats, fruits, cereals, and vegetables, and we avoid fatty items like fudge cakes and deep-fried snacks, we don't have to consider the possibility of malnutrition. Sorry—not so. Although diet is indeed an important factor in nutrition, it isn't the only one. How your body processes food is as important as the food itself. If your twin systems of digestion and absorption are not working well, you won't be healthy, no matter how healthful your diet. You will suffer—believe it or not—from malnutrition.

Making plants flower later would stop vegetables such as spinach and lettuce from bolting too soon—sending up stems that sap energy.21 Other researchers have tried to influence a plant's growth by modifying its responses to light. "When a crop plant is shaded by its neighbors, it tends to shoot upward to find the sunlight, spending energy that farmers want directed instead into making seeds. Certain proteins tell a plant when it's in the shade, and these proteins pass on the information to genes that control growth.

It is clear that the body has to work a lot less when creating protein from the assortment of individual amino acids from greens, rather than the already combined, long molecules of protein, assembled according to the foreign pattern of a totally different creature such as a cow or a chicken.

In addition to the environmental problems brought on by excessive manure, the use of raw—rather than composted—waste to fertilize fields and orchards brings pathogenic bacteria into contact with grains, vegetables, and fruits not usually contaminated with such organisms.22 The concentration of cattle production means that animals are transported across long distances, crowded together in railroad cars. Unlike poultry, beef cattle are shipped from one location to another at various growth stages—between the U.S. and Mexico, for example—increasing the opportunity for bacteria to spread.

The contamination of salad vegetables doesn't stop with spraying the leafy portion of the plant. Medical researchers have discovered that many chemicals such as fertilizers and weed killers applied to the soil can remain there for a long time and are then absorbed by succeeding crops grown in the fields.

We'd be eating vegetables out of buckets if we extrapolated from restaurant-portion sizes. I believe that many people have been discouraged from following very good dietary guidelines because they've come to believe that a serving is a super-size amount of food. They believe that if they really ate that much, they'd gain a tremendous amount of weight. A survey by the American Institute for Cancer Research found that more than 25 percent of Americans polled said that they decided how much food to eat at a single sitting on the basis of how much food they were served.
