Thanks to Dr. Denis Burkitt, a dedicated missionary surgeon in Africa, an exposition of awareness of the need for fibre began more than thirty years ago. Dr. Burkitt set about to find why certain diseases were epidemic in the industrialized world, yet were extremely rare in Africa. The answer was fibre, and fibre is found only in plants, the staple of the people living on the African continent. There are two types of fibre: insoluble and soluble. The insoluble fibre, which does not absorb water, works like a broom in the large intestine to promote regularity. Soluble fibre, which absorbs many times its own weight in water, binds with fat and cholesterol in the intestinal tract. This excess fat is then carried out of the gastrointestinal tract as waste, rather than being re-absorbed.
