Popis: Fibre and some of the associated substances have strong in vitro mineral binding or complexing capacities and hence fibre has been suspected of impairing mineral absorption. The results of mineral absorption studies of fibre-rich diets in humans are, however, not consistent. The specific characteristics of mineral metabolism introduce a number of methodological difficulties that might have contributed to the conflicting results. Furthermore, in several studies either the content of fibre and other interacting substances has not been adequately analysed or the methods used to study absorption and utilisation have not been sensitive enough to reveal any effects.
