The current American diet averages only
about 10 grams of dietary fiber. Interestingly
enough, studies have shown that intakes of 25 to
40 grams may significantly reduce the risk of
developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood
pressure, colon cancer, and other intestinal
disorders. NOW is pleased to offer the following
sources of 100% natural fiber as a means of
maintaining natural regularity and overall good
health.
American preschool-age children do not get
enough fiber from their diets, reports the
Journal of the American Dietetic Association
(2005;105:221–5). Inadequate fiber intake
may increase these children’s risk of developing
heart disease and other chronic illnesses. As
dietary habits formed before age two tend to
carry into adulthood, it is critical to
introduce and emphasize nutritious foods to
children as their tastes develop.
