It is mostly fermented, and that fermentation is the key to improved insulin sensitivity (3 published human studies), increased fat burning (1 published human study), increased satiety and now starting to see decreased caloric intake in the 24 hours following resistant starch consumption. Most other insoluble fibers (from whole grains, wheat, soy, etc.) are not fermented and cannot deliver the same benefits. You can also look for Hi-maize resistant starch, a natural resistant starch from corn, available from King Arthur Flour. It retains its resistance through baking, so can be substituted for flour in foods like pancakes, cookies, brownies, etc. Not to promote sweets, but if you're going to eat them - at least make them so they'll give you important resistant starch benefits.

Even more reason to keep trying for the whole grains as much as possible. Thanks. I had no idea about most of this. Even more reason to keep trying for the whole grains as much as possible. Thanks.
