Embodiment 1

[0038] An estimated fiber requirement for an adult is between about 10 grams and about 40 grams per day. Some experts use a figure of around 25 grams. Obviously, the need for fiber is related to size, weight and health. Efforts have been made to find a relationship between demand and weight. Estimated daily fiber requirements are between 500 and 300 mg per kg of body weight. Fiber requirements can also be estimated from daily caloric intake. Current estimates call for approximately 25 grams per day for a 2000 calorie diet (sufficient for a 125 lb person) and approximately 37 grams per day for a 3000 calorie diet (sufficient for a 175 lb person). Both methods generally produce similar effects because heavier people generally have higher caloric intake. These estimates should provide adequate fiber for people who eat even very fiber-deficient foods.

[0039] Using a daily fiber requirement of 25 grams and using a fixed size of 8 glasses of water (approximately 250ml of wate...

Embodiment 2

[0043] Babies also have very different fiber needs. Until recently, there were no specific guidelines for dietary fiber for kids. Recommendations have recently been made based on the child's age, weight and height. The recommended minimum daily fiber intake for children over two years of age is their age plus five grams. The suggested "safe dose" is between this figure and age plus ten grams. Symptoms of excess fiber (such as loose stools) may occur with more than this number. It is the intent of the present invention to provide various grades of fiber-water by enabling a person or caregiver to "choose" the amount of fiber by finding symptoms of fiber excess consumption. Because infants and young children generally cannot tell us directly about their indigestion, constipation, other results of insufficient fiber often manifest as irritability or similar abnormal behavior. This is very true when babies are just weaned from non-fiber milk to fibrous foods. There are signifi...

Abstract

A water-like fluid containing safe water and a significant quantity of soluble dietary fiber. The resulting solution is generally optically clear and has physical properties similar to potable water. The fluid is intended as a replacement for bottled, or other water, as a means to ensure proper hydration. Depending on the soluble fiber used the fluid is either non-caloric or extremely low in calories. The amount of soluble fiber is adjusted to a specific amount of water so that consumption of an adequate amount of fluid ensures hydration (e.g., eight 8 oz. glasses per day) will also providing an optimal amount of dietary fiber. This is particularly valuable in stressed situations where the diet may not provide adequate fiber without supplementation. The constant metered supply of fiber provided throughout the day is preferable to, and more convenient than, 'bolus' administration of fiber through laxatives, etc. Additionally, the constant presence of soluble fiber in the digestive tract provides the known beneficial effects of moderating the postprandial increase in blood glucose, modulating serum lipid levels, and suppressing appetite.

Description

[0001] Refer to related application [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Patent Application Serial No. 09 / 510,400, filed February 22, 2000, entitled "Fiber-Water-Water Containing Soluble Fibers," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] This application relates generally to components of human food, more specifically water and fiber. Many of the major questions in human health revolve around which food ingredients are truly essential to animal and human health and which ingredients are touted by companies to sell their products. A related issue is the accuracy of information regarding the suitability of a particular food, nutrient or nutritional product for a particular person. Of course the "one size fits all" situation is not true when it comes to pharmaceuticals and nutrients. Additionally, the FMA's little control over dietary supplements has resulted in companies racing to file and launch new products ...
