In addition, patients with some diseases should not eat more dietary fiber: various acute and chronic enteritis, typhoid fever, dysentery, colonic diverticulitis, intestinal tumors, a small amount of bleeding in the digestive tract, intestinal esophageal stenosis before and after intestinal surgery, and partial esophageal varices.
Functional beverage market and the application of dietary fiber: In recent years, the functional or nutritious beverage market has grown steadily in Japan. Due to the popularity of medicinal beverages, Japanese consumers now believe that beverages are not only used to quench thirst, but also regarded as a good source of nutrition like vitamins. For American consumers, Japanese nutritious drinks are as important and popular as "vitamin tablets". 1988, the Japanese Volkswagen pharmaceutical company introduced a beverage named "Fiber—Mini" to the market, which is a soluble dietary fiber polydextrose and a fiber beverage as an edible fiber component. Because of its successful marketing strategy, especially pointing out that it is a healthy drink, it became popular as soon as it went on the market. Before the introduction of "fiber-mini", nutritious drinks were considered as tonic drinks for men, but "fiber-mini", a drink containing dietary fiber, attracted many young Japanese women and formed a market with the flavor of "women's drinks".
In Japan, there are 1 1 kinds of best-selling functional drinks, 6 of which contain dietary fiber. In fact, more than 70% of the total sales of functional drinks contain dietary fiber. The survey found that almost half of the women in a company have constipation tendency or often constipation. Constipation can not only cause uncomfortable feeling, but also cause skin problems, which is the most concerned problem for young women. Therefore, beauty and laxative may have a certain relationship.
Fiber food is known as the "oasis of life", and in recent years, the international food structure is being adjusted to fiber food. Consumer demand in Japan and the United States is increasing at the rate of 10% every year. In European and American markets, adding soluble dietary fiber to food has been popular for many years. In Japan, China, Taiwan Province Province and South Korea, the sales of food added with soluble dietary fiber are also increasing. In China, soluble dietary fiber has been added to some beverages. It is certain that dietary fiber drinks or health foods will be further developed in China in the near future.
