Bananas contain "fructooligosaccharide, a compound called a
prebiotic because it nourishes
probiotic
(friendly) bacteria in the colon. These beneficial bacteria produce
vitamins & digestive enzymes that improve our ability to absorb nutrients,
+ compounds that
protect us against unfriendly microorganisms. When fructooligosaccharides are fermented by these friendly bacteria, not only do numbers of probiotic bacteria increase, but so does the body's ability to absorb calcium. In addition, gastrointestinal transit time is lessened, decreasing the risk of colon cancer.
Green bananas contain indigestible (to humans)
short chain fatty
acids (SCFAs)
that are a favorite food of the cells that make up the lining of the
intestines. When these cells are well-nourished & healthy, the body's
ability to absorb nutrients
such as calcium can increase dramatically."
