Re:Konnyaku Flour (Glucomannan)

[Guest guest]

I am not familiar with this product but I think this statement below

renders it illegal. I remember Elaine talking about some of the so-called

wonder sugar replacements advertising " zero calories " and she

said yes, zero calories for you, 100% to to feeding the bad bugs.

OK, that's disaccharides but I would think this would be the same thing

with the polysaccharides. I'll say this, I don't think I'll try it!

Sounds like a real feast for my bad buggies.

" It's not a starch its actually soluble fiber, while it is a

polysaccride it is undigestable by our bodies

Oh I have no intention of trying it - I love my spaghetti squash or zucchini

noodles - but I really just want to understand why it's illegal. The more

research I do, the more confused I seem to make myself. I just want to

understand and be able to explain to others (newbies) who might be thinking of

trying this, why it's a no-no.

" That which the patient takes beyond his ability to digest does

harm. " Dr. Gee.

WE may not be able to digest it, but the bad bugs in our guts sure

can!
