What problem can occur with high intake of low-fibre refined foods?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Weight and blood sugar control may be affected
Refined, low-fibre foods, such as many products made mainly from refined flour, are often digested relatively quickly and may produce a rapid rise in blood glucose. They may also provide less lasting fullness, which can make total energy and weight control more difficult. Low fibre does not lower constipation risk; adequate fibre from whole grains, pulses, vegetables, and fruits generally supports bowel regularity.
