Linda’s comments: Finally a university does a study and admits they find that Fiber boosts our immune systems. AND yes, a good Fiber can reduce inflammation associated with obesity related diseases. The BEYOND FIBER I take has more than just fiber….please go here and read about the fiber I take twice daily… www.longevityplus.com <BEYOND FIBER> This Beyond Fiber is part of the FIGHT protocol that I have been on for over 1 1/2 years. I had tried over 15 different fibers before Beyond FIber. I will never go back. Healing our cells helps us to recover faster from different infections.
Join the FIGHT team and get healthy!! Go to www.gordonresearch.com and find the Webinar’s on the F.I.G.H.T. protocol. I do believe you will be pleasantly surprised what you learn there. By reducing our total body burden of pathogens and toxins leads us to a healthier life and a happier YOU.

Excerpt:
A new University of Illinois study touts the benefits of soluble fiber – found in oats, apples, and nuts, for starters – saying that it reduces the inflammation associated with obesity-related diseases and strengthens the immune system.“Soluble fiber changes the personality of immune cells – they go from being pro-inflammatory, angry cells to anti-inflammatory, healing cells that help us recover faster from infection,” said Gregory Freund, a professor in the U of I’s College of Medicine and a faculty member in the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences’ Division of Nutritional Sciences.
This happens because soluble fiber causes increased production of an anti-inflammatory protein called interleukin-4, he said.
The study will appear in the May 2010 issue of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity and is available online at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/08891591.
