I understand why RS3 beats RS2 every time,...Dr B.G.<br />I understand why RS3 beats RS2 every time,but I'm wondering why you are so fond of inulin? It ferments fast and hot in the proximal colon, doesn't reduce fecal pH and often causes as pronounced,if not worse flatulence and/or bloating as RS2. Granted it does feed the ancestral core, which RS2 doesn't, but so do a lot of other fibers too, such as RS3. <br />So why do you promote inulin so enthusiastically?<br />Btw have you heard of a type of legume called the 'lupin'? Negligible starch or sugar (so useless for RS3) but about 40% fermentable fiber and very low in phytates lectins and trypsin inhibitors. So presumably they'd be great raw (soaked meal). Also they exert a powerful stool pH lowering effect. They are better known as stockfeed, but gaining increasing popularity as <br />a functional addition to the human diet. I noticed a report years ago of a study showing that they had a very pronounced effect on male sheep libido. Haven't noticed anything yet, but it's only been 3 days. I've just been adding a couple of spoons of raw lupin flour to my daily bionic fiber smoothie.Stuart Mathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-53046912045856803962014-10-29T10:52:14.092-07:002014-10-29T10:52:14.092-07:00Profound stuff.

UR VERY WELCOME ;)<br /><br />Your fermented foods are fantastic and abundant in L plantarum, a widely studied microbe with many anti-inflammatory properties including pain relief. Mood/mind/addictions/metabolism all go hand in hand, no? (been there) it's the gut also and micronutrient and hormonal deficiencies. Please have these addressed otherwise the gut cannot get better in the long run. Eating foods rich in phytonutrients, polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals +soil from healthy farms is vital. Don't ignore.<br /><br />http://www.baumancollege.org/pdfs/articles/MTCardioFinal.pdf<br /><br />I love Bauman and their nutri program. Search 'insulin' and you'll get more fantastic strategies to fix metabolism.<br /><br />Unfortunately the document overlooks gut health. Because the 'limbs' of our gut microbiota are gone/amputated/lobotomized, we are lacking the organisms that metabolize for us. There is no optimal probiotic (yet) that can mimic the ancestral exposures from farms, healthy animals and healthy dirt. <br /><br />Do you have any farms near you? organic, sustainable and biodynamic? <br /><br />How many puppies do you have? I wonder if they have delivered some nice parasites and pathogens to u! My foster kittens might have (or a salad in California or Shanghai). If the gut is compromised, vulnerability to pathogens is higher, unfortunately.

I did get some great results with PS, Psyllium, Amazing Grass and a Bubbies Dill Pickle or Kraut in amounts titrated to my blood sugar readings. I did add SBO's later but my major improvements came before adding them. <br />Im going to try and follow your advice and get my regular physician to work with a functional medicine expert for monitoring and testing to let some wise people help keep an eye on my health with an increased focus on gut health.<br /> Your help in leveraging the giftedness of the many medical leaders, researchers, thinkers, etc. and making it widely available is deeply appreciated.

Exercise (cardio, lifting)? SBO probiotics? Vitamin D/sunshine? Omega-3? Zinc/mag? All these factors impact carb tolerance and insulin sensitivity<br /><br />RS3 is important and ancestral but the caveat is that they have carbs. OTOH RS3 will help carb tolerance! <br /><br />Have you considered eating room temp heirloom roasted potatoes or room temp beans or lentils that have been stored in fridge one day? These are low carb sources of high RS3. Don't need a lot. 1/2cup 15-20 g of super bionic RS3.<br /><br />If you take along with bionic fiber (both version A+B) can have better carb tolerance over time. <br /><br />Have you tried 1/2 tsp glucomannan with 2 cups water for fat loss and improvement blood sugars?<br /><br />How has your A1c improved since bionic fiber over your experimentation time?<br /><br />thxDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-57805070271436310032014-09-01T14:45:06.038-07:002014-09-01T14:45:06.038-07:00Tim

I've never heard of anyone eating raw chicory root, but the leaves are called Belgian endive, or witloof. The leaves are also high in inulin.<br /><br />I don't believe that the beverage made by brewing roasted chicory root contains much inulin. Inulin is subject to degradation from heat. Still, I believe it is a healthful beverage and a good coffee substitute. <br /><br />Chicory root is grown mainly for processing into inulin and FOS, for use as a sugar substitute. Most inulin you see in supplement form comes from chicory roots. <br /><br />Apparently the plant family that chicory belongs to (along with ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies or marigolds) are troublesome to many people much like some are sensitive to nightshades. Pregnant women are warned against chicory root, but I've never seen that warning applied to chicory derived inulin.

It is time and temperature dependant, when bread gets stale, it is actually turning into RS3.<br /><br />From what I have read, about 80% of the RS3 that will ever be formed happens at 45-50 degrees F for 8 hours. Maximum RS3 formation will occur at 10 deg F after 20 days, but an overnight chilling in the fridge is the big 'bang-for-the-buck'. <br /><br />Additional heating/cooling cycles will also increase RS3, but again, the most RS3 is formed in the very first heating/cooling cycle. <br /><br />Food manufacturers use these tricks to form RS3 food additives by using processing methods that repeatedly heat and cool the starches to make high potency RS3's such as ActiStar and PenFibe.Tim Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611027687223434753noreply@blogger.com
