The Critical Role of Dietary Fiber Food
The role of dietary high fiber food has increasingly grown in prominence since as early as 1860 with the advent of the technology for refining sugar, followed soon thereafter by improved milling methods that began removing the fiber from flour. Improvements in rail and sea transport along with refrigeration, enabled the distribution of these foods to a worldwide marketplace. Prosperous, more industrialized countries were predominantly the beneficiaries of these new wonder foods. Simultaneously, the populations of these countries began suffering en masse with digestive and bowel disorders. In the recent 50 years, as three generations have come to pass, the prevalence of these and multiple related disorders have reached a critical level. Foodstuffs have become so de-natured that they are almost unrecognizable from their whole, original state. Current statistics are undeniably revealing:
- Up to 100 million Americans suffer from varied forms of digestive diseases with an estimated total in lost wages and medical costs of over $50 billion per year. Each day, approximately 200,000 people miss work due to these disorders.
- Health statistics show that more Americans are hospitalized with digestive tract disorders than any other group of diseases. These medical costs tower at more than $20 billion per year.
- The annual sales of prescription and over the counter drug products for digestion related maladies has grown to $2.5 billion per year, increasing at a steady rate of 10% over the last decade, contributing substantially to our overall health care costs. These include laxatives, antacids, anti-hemorrhoidal and anti-diarrheal preparations.

Supplement Fact Sheet
Super Seed
We all are learning about the health value of seeds and sprouted cereal grasses. Flaxseed, pumpkin seeds and other seeds have so many diverse health promoting properties, but what we love about Super Seed is that one serving supplies 29 percent of your daily fiber needs from a very diverse source of soluble and insoluble fibers, plus 10 percent of your daily potassium requirement. Mix with potassium-rich orange juice, of course, and your potassium intake is about 23 percent of your daily requirements. And that’s something to brag about! Super Seed is a rich source of flaxseed, chia seed, sprouted quinoa, sprouted amaranth, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, sesame seed, millet, buckwheat (not actually a grain but the seed of an herb), fiber from garbanzo, red lentil, kidney and adzuki beans, and cinnamon, a potent harmonizer with considerable digestive value. Best of all, it tastes great!
