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.
Breads. Foods classified as breads contribute the most intake of resistant starch to the American diet, according to a study published by the academy in 2008. Bread consumption accounts for 21 percent of Americaâs intake of resistant starch. Among bread products, pumpernickel bread contains the most resistant starch, with 1.17 grams for one regular slice. Italian bread was also found to be high in resistant starch, with 1.14 grams in one large slice.
