Dialysis: The process of removing waste products and excess fluid from the body. Dialysis is necessary when the kidneys are not able to adequately filter the blood.
A resistant starch is a starch that resists this enzymatic action and doesnât break down into sugar molecules. For example, raw cornstarch contains a fair amount of resistant starch. If you were to put some in your mouth and chew on it, it wouldnât start to taste sweet no matter how long you chewed it.
Not all resistant starches are the same. There are 4 different types (2). 1  Type 1 is found in grains, seeds and legumes and resists digestion because it is bound within the fibrous cell walls.  Type 2 is found in some starchy foods, including raw potatoes and green (unripe) bananas.
