The Hungry Microbiome: why resistant starch is good for you 

Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in Australia. Research shows that eating fibre rich in resistant starch is one way we can combat this threat. This animation shows how resistant starch moves through the intestine, feeds the healthy bacteria of the gut Microbiome and helps prevent cancer.

Reheated Rice & Potatoes Might Be Healthier Than Fresh 😳

Most people think fresh food is always better.

But when it comes to certain starchy foods, reheating them the next day may actually improve your gut health and blood sugar response.

The reason? A powerful compound called resistant starch.

Good Carbs

4/08/24

Do you yearn to prepare and enjoy delicious meals of potatoes, rice, or pasta, but are concerned about the high calories from these starchy foods? Forget about it. All you need to do is prepare and cook the dish early in the day, or better yet the night before, and store it in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, before reheating it to serve. The meal will look and taste the same as one freshly made, but also be much healthier.

As your cooked dish cools down in the refrigerator, a unique type of carbohydrate called resistant starch is formed, which our digestive system cannot readily break down for energy. Research shows that resistant starch has only about half the digestible calories as regular starch! – which is great news for dieters, but not all the good news. The indigestible carbs serve as much-needed prebiotics to feed our beneficial gut bacteria and maintain a healthy microbiome.

What can be better than eating delicious food that you love and that is healthy for you - go ahead and gourmandize!

Study Suggests That Pill Can Cut Hereditary Cancer Risk by 60 Percent

A new study shows that resistant starch has an astonishing ability to help prevent a range of hereditary cancers, cutting risk by 60 percent.

I’ve been putting potato starch in my smoothies for years, so this is good news.

The researchers believe that the secret to resistant starch's success is in its ability to, well, resist.

Specifically, it resists acidic digestive bile. As a result, it actually settles and ferments in the large intestine. This feeds gut-supporting friendly bacteria, acting, as Mathers described in the press release, "like dietary fiber in your digestive system."

But how, exactly, might this defend against cancer?

According to the press release, the scientists believe that regular consumption of resistant starch — and thus, regularly keeping that good bacteria happy — might actually change the bacterial metabolism of the bile acids, ultimately keeping them from damaging DNA. (As the scientists concede in the press release, this theory needs more research.)

It's also worth noting that while the starchy supplement seemed to strongly support the upper GI tract and multiple other areas of the body, it wasn't shown to defend against bowel cancers.
