Inulin Deficency

[Guest guest]

Duncan, I still have been unable to locate any information on inulin

being a known " dietary deficency " . I have done a web search and I

have been to your website and still could not find any references to

scientific research on the subject of " inulin deficency " . Can you

point me in the right direction? Paul Autrey

Paul the inulin deficiency is revealed in Bryan Tungland's

Comprehensive Scientific Review, an article we have been

referring to for months on the candidiasis group.

It shows what historic inulin intake was in various parts of the

world, what the range of results reveals about optimal intake,

and what the average intakes are of a few cultures including

North Americans, and broken down by ethnicity in the US too. The

intakes also reference a 1999 USDA study.

Just above the last heading you can see something of the range at

which the studies got optimum results, noting that 12 grams works

well and more than 20 grams was superfluous.

 

I worked out the garlic question also on the candidiasis list;

something like 5-6 ounces daily would provide enough inulin; 6

pounds for onions.
