Fiber seems to be linked to a reduced risk of disease in people older than 50

Here is another note from NARFE.

A study analyzed medical and food consumption data on 388,122 adults older than 50. In a nine-year span, 31,456 of them died. People who routinely consumed the most fiber--an average of 24 grams daily for men, 26 for women, were 22 percent less likely to have died in this time period than were those whose diets included the least amount of fiber.

Something to think about!

JCEP spring meeting is this week in Springfield. We'll try to have an update on current events next week.
