Hi-maize 260, from National Starch Food Innovation, is a 5 in 1 fiber that can be used to improve the nutritional value of the foods you love to make. Hi-maize resistant starch is a natural dietary fiber from corn. It resists digestion in the small intestine and is fermented within the large intestine. Hi-maize can be added to almost any food without changing its taste or appearance. Simply replace about 10-25% of the all purpose flour you would normally use in recipes like pancakes, cookies, pancakes, cakes or other baked goods containing flour. You could also blend it into a fruit smoothie or sprinkle it over cereal in the morning. Just 15 grams of Hi-maize (about 1 heaping tablespoon) contains 9 grams of total dietary fiber, which is more than the fiber in 1/3 cup of high bran cereal and twice as much as the fiber contained in 1 cup of oatmeal.

In addition, Hi-maize has some real health benefits.

1. Hi-maize is lower in calories than the flour it replaces. Hi-maize delivers between 2-l kilocalories/gram while flour delivers 4 kilocalories/gram. Hi-maize also helps your body burn more fat and may lead to lower fat accumulation.
2. Hi-maize helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels in healthy individuals because Hi-maize increases insulin sensitivity in healthy people.
3. Hi-maize helps balance your energy in the hours following a meal. It has a lower impact in blood sugar and blood insulin than the flour it replaces. For individuals following a "carbohydrate-control" diet, it lowers the "net" or digestible carbohydrates in foods.
4. Hi-maize promotes digestive health. The fiber in Hi-maize is fermented within the large intestine and encourages the growth of friendly bacteria (a "prebiotic" fiber). It reduces harmful compounds such as ammonia, while producing beneficial compounds such as short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, the preferred fuel for colon cells. Hi-maize is ideal for use in a gluten-free diet.
5. Hi-maize is well tolerated. It is slowly fermented and does not produce the uncomfortable digestive side effects sometimes found with fiber.

More than 120 animal and human studies have been published supporting the health benefits and tolerance of Hi-maize resistant starch. For a summary of the human clinicalstudies, visit www.5-in-1-fiber.com.

To get the full benefits of resistant starch, scientific experts have estimated that we should be eating 15-20 grams of natural resistant starch per day
