New Resistant Starch Research
On a lark, I searched PubMed this morning for new RS articles. Looks like scientists keep finding no end of ways to study this crazy little granule!
The newest studies out on RS (Oct/Nov 2015):

MMmm...Garlic!
It's official! Garlic is good for you. Not that we didn't already know. New paper just out explaining some of the unique properties of garlic when eaten "raw and crushed".
Too long? Scientists discovered that eating raw, crushed garlic causes an upregulation in the genes responsible for anti-cancer metabolism, ie. immunity and apoptosis.

New Study: RS2 and gut inflammation in Malawian children.
Finally, a study showing that Resistant Starch Type 2 is not the "wonder drug" that I have promoted for nearly three years now. Did RS2 cause gut inflammation in rural Malawi children?
It's been too easy, what with study after study for over 30 years showing that RS has profound effects on the gut biome and health of the habitual user. Let's take a look at this latest study and see if we should all immediately halt the use of RS2.
Too long? Don't wanna read? : RS2, as found in raw potato starch, banana flour, and Hi-Maize corn starch is a great prebiotic and can be used as a supplement for fiber in a healthy diet!

An Aspirin a Day...
Aspirin has been linked to reduced instances of heart attacks for many years. Lately, there has been news of an Aspirin a day preventing colon cancer. Should we all be taking Aspirin as preventative medicine?
Too long/Don't wanna read?: Eat your fruits and veggies and skip the recommendations for "an Aspirin a day." "Plant Aspirin" is in a form that does not have the risk factors associated with Bayer Aspirin (gastric bleeding, ulcers, Reyes disease).
