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.
At least 10% of the total starch in a typical Western diet is resistant starch, which acts very much like fermentable fiber. In general, starchy foods that contain RS Type 1 and RS Type 2 will yield greater amounts of resistant starch than any other foods, especially compared to fully cooked starches.
