Carbohydrates are classified in simple and complex carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are stereoisomers and optically active. Polysaccharides including cellulose (a dietary fiber) consist of glucose only. Polysaccharides account for nearly 50% of dietary carbohydrate intake. Foods contain unrefined carbohydrates (whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables) and/or refined carbohydrates (simple sugars LECTURE 2 -‐ SLIDE 37 and processed grains).

ADSORPTION / BINDING ABILITY C. Lowered serum cholesterol concentrations Types of fiber: Psyllium, gums, β ‐ glucans, pectin Mechanism: 1)  bile/cholesterol excretion: decreases [cholesterol] in liver,  more LDL removed from blood to make new bile 2) bile composition changes: inhibits HMG CoA reductase enzyme required for cholesterol synthesis 3) production of short chain fatty acids: inhibit cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis Result: lower serum cholesterol! LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 32 3. ADSORPTION / BINDING ABILITY D. Altered mineral, carotenoid, and phytochemical absorption Types of fiber: Hemicellulose, pectins, gums, some oligosaccharides; lignin Mechanism: Either enhance or inhibit mineral absorption which depends on the degree of fermentability Generally: slow fermentable fiber: inhibitory effect rapidly fermentable: enhancing effect Result: Fluctuations in the absorption of minerals, carotenoids, and phytochemicals LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 33 3.

Highly fermentable fiber Fermentation process Anatomic: in colon “Initiators“: bacteria Products: gases: hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) SCFA: acetic acid (2-carbon) -‐ATP formation in most tissues propionic acid (3‐carbon) -‐ liver converts it to glucose butyric acid (4‐carbon) -‐ source of energy for colon cells LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 38 4. Highly fermentable fiber 2a) Generation of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) during bacterial metabolism Effects of SCFA (acetic, butyric, and propionic acid):  H2O and Na absorption in colon Mucosal cell differentiation and proliferation Provision of energy: SCFAs can provide a source of energy for various body tissues Acidification of luminal environment in colon:  pH = less soluble bile and less bile conversion  Calcium binding of bile and fatty acids This could be protective in colon cancer (bile and fatty acids cause chronic inflammation in the colon epithelium which can progress to cancer) LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 39 4. Highly fermentable fiber 2b) Prebiotic capacity Fermented by beneficial gut bacteria and hence promote growth of the beneficial bacterial species  Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium  Clostridium and Salmonella IMPORTANT: resist digestion in the small intestine and reach May be useful in several diseases the colon, where they are (e.g., protective against colon cancer) fermented by the gut microflora In particular: oligosaccharides found in beans and legumes (Raffinose, Stachyose, Verbascose) LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 40 PREBIOTICS – PROBIOTICS Probiotics live bacteria (mostly lactobacillus casei) important characteristic: bacteria reach the intestine intact; are not digested first probiotic product created in 1935: YAKULT; by Japanese scientist Dr. Minoru Shirota (L. casei Shirota) available as supplements or in foods (for example yoghurt) LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 41 FIBER SOLUBLE vs INSOLUBLE DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT Diabetes mellitus Hypo‐glycemic effects Heart disease Hypo‐lipidemic Hypo‐cholesterolemic effects Obesity Increased satiety Reduced absorption of macronutrients Gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., inflammatory bowel syndrome) Prebiotic effects (support growth of beneficial bacteria) Colon cancer Beneficial bacterial species protective against cancer; likely through formation of SCFA  binding of bile and fatty acids LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 42 FIBER SOLUBLE vs INSOLUBLE DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT Diabetes mellitus Food matrix issue: Hypo‐glycemic effects In some cases food sources of fiber as opposed to Heart disease isolated fiber (supplements) seem to be more beneficial. Hypo‐lipodemic For example: whole wheat cereal vs. cereal fiber Hypo‐cholesterolemic effects Obesity Increased satiety Reduced absorption of macronutrients Gastrointestinal disorders Prebiotic effects (support growth of beneficial bacteria) Colon cancer Beneficial bacterial species protective against cancer; likely through formation of SCFA  binding of bile and fatty acids LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 43 Activity SOLUBLE vs INSOLUBLE FIBER - DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT Name two properties of pectins. Explain the physiological effects related to these properties, and explain how these physiological effects might contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease (e.g., atherosclerosis). You may follow a scheme below to answer: Property 1: Physiological effect: How this might prevent cardiovascular disease: Property 2: Physiological effect: LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 44 How this might prevent cardiovascular disease: SOLUBLE vs INSOLUBLE FIBER -‐RECOMMENDED INTAKES Adequate Intakes were created based on the amounts of fiber shown to protect against heart disease Suggested intake = 14 grams fiber / 1,000 kcal Age 19‐50years Men: 38 grams Women: 25 grams LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 45 SOLUBLE vs INSOLUBLE FIBER -‐RECOMMENDED INTAKES Mean fiber intake in Canadian adults (Canadian Community Health Survey 2004-2015) Men 19+ years 19 grams/day Women 19+ years 16 grams/day < 10% meet the adequate intake for fiber!!! Adequate Intake Men: 38 grams/day Women: 25 grams/day LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 46 Food Labeling TOTAL FIBER Labeling and claims of food products: Dietary fiber = 1 of 13 core nutrients that must be declared in the Nutrition Facts table. Food and Drug Regulations, B.01.401 Amount of both soluble and insoluble fiber may be separately declared as additional information. Food and Drug Regulations B.01.402 Total fiber = dietary fiber + functional fiber+ novel fiber https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/hc-sc/migration/hc-sc/fn- an/alt_formats/pdf/legislation/pol/fibre-label-etiquetage-eng.pdf https://www.canada.ca/en/health- canada/services/publications/food-nutrition/labelling- LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 47 advertising-dietary-fibre-food-products.html Fiber Highly fermentable Non-fermentable and soluble and insoluble Beta-glucans * Cellulose Fructans Some hemicellulose Pectin * Lignin Gums * Chitin and chitosan Psyllium * Resistant starch Some hemicellulose Oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose, verbascose) * Forming gels in GI LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 49 Fiber Food source Fiber type Strawberries Lignin, pectin Whole grains, wheat Cellulose, bran hemicellulose, lignin Barley, Oat Beta-glucans Artichoke, asparagus, Fructans bananas Citrus fruits, apple Pectin Beans and legumes Oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose, verbascose) Carrots Cellulose, lignin, pectin LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 50 SOLUBLE FIBER -‐vs INSOLUBLE SUMMARY In human nutrition, we distinguish between dietary and functional fibers. Physiological effects determined largely by the type and amount of fiber. Fiber has numerous beneficial characteristics to which its role in disease can be attributed to. Fiber may have a role in disease prevention and treatment. Fiber in the diet should be varied and complementary to ensure adequate intake of other nutrients. LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 51 CASE STUDY Your friend is interested in loosing weight and found this dietary fiber supplement advertised for effective weight loss. She wants to get your advice on how this product might be effective in weight loss and what side effects this product might have. She consumes an omnivorous diet but is not meeting the recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake (5-a‐day). LECTURE 7 -‐ SLIDE 52 CASE STU
