Shape Magazine Interviews Camire About Resistant Starch
Mary Ellen Camire, University of Maine professor of food science and human nutrition, was quoted in a Shape magazine article about the health benefits of resistant starch. The starch is a carbohydrate with health benefits such as regulating blood sugar and acting as a probiotic, according to the article. Camire said resistant starch is a carbohydrate your body can’t digest, and it behaves a lot like fiber, helping food move through your system. Resistant starch can be found in cooked and cooled rice, pasta and potatoes, as well as in beans, legumes and lentils, the article states.
