We bear a lot these days about
increasing the fibre in our diet, but
what is fibre and how do we go about
increasing it in our diets?
Dietary fibre is the part of plant
foods which man cannot digest. It is
not found in any animal foods.
Dietary fibre can be divided into two
groups --- soluble and insoluble
fibres.
Soluble fibres dissolve in water
and are found in significant
proportion in beans, oats and some
fruits and vegetables. Research
suggests these fibres may play a
role in lowering blood cholesterol
levels by increasing its elimination
in the stools. Soluble fibres have also
been shown to slow the digestion of
carbohydrates and ° the entry of
sugar intothe bloodstream. This
property is of special interest in the
management of diabetes.
Foods such as wheat bran, whole
grains, and some vegetables contain
predominantly insoluble fibres.
These fibres have the ability to
retain water, increase stool size and
therefore promote regularity._
Recent research also suggests that a
diet high in fibre may help prevent
or treat some diseases of the colon.
North Americans eat , less fibre
today- than they did a century ago.
The removal of fibrefromthe diet
may be .one reason why :there is ,a
higher calorie intake, and why
excess weight is a problem in our
society. Fibre in the :diet. creates a
feeling of -fullness in the stomach,
which may cut down on the amount
of food eaten. This means that
higher fibre and fewer calories are
consumed. A good comparison is
apple juice versus apples. One glass
of apple juice contains the same
calories as two apples, but the latter
•
contains MO more fib Arid
OHM upnivre.
The question of how much fibrewe.
need is not easily answered, . but
there is agreement that most people
need more than they are currently
getting. Since. the Various types of
fibre are 'not found in just one type of
food, the best recommendation is to
increase consumption from a
variety of sources. The following\
will help you boost the fibre in your
diet:
-Supplements and fibre enriched
food products do not offer the wide
variety of fibres we need,
-Increase fibre in your diet gradu-
ally -to avoid discomfort and excess
intestinal gas.
-Keep some cans of cooked beans
on hand. Toss into salads, spaghetti
sauce or casseroles..
--Wheat bran is not the only source
of dietary fibre. Oat bran can also be
,- sed to add fibre to cereal, pancakes
or casseroles.
-Have a whole grain cereal for
breakfast everyday.
--Choose whole grain breads and
muffins.
Int;orporate whole wheat flour in
your baking
Nave an apple or an orange in-
stead of juice.
--:Leave the skin on potatoes.
Simply- Scrub; them well before
'Nicking. -
-Mix bran into chili, thick soups,
cooked vegetables, sloppy joes,
sandwich spreads, ground meat
mixtures, and coating preparations
for chicken and fish.
-Sprinkle a little over ice cream,
yogurt and puddings.

FigJflLn.gc,rIie is the job
of everyone, not just police
Fighting crime is not just a job for
the police. Everyone can join the
battle through the Crime Stoppers
program.
The citizen -supported ° program
allows people to tell about criminal
activity without getting directly
involved. Anyone with information
can call the Criine Stoppers toll-free
number 1.800-265-1777 and tip off
police without giving their name.
Cash rewards of up to $1,000 are paid
for tips leading to arrests in serious
cases.
Crime Stoppers in Huron County is
due to begin March 14, 1988 and
gives every indication it will be a
repeat of the program's success in
other centres.
Jeff Sabin, police co=ordinator of
Crime Stoppers in Huron County,
says the program works. In other
communities, tips have led to arrest
of suspectsin crimes including -
murder, sexual assault, robbery,
burglary; assault, drug trafficking
and drug smuggling.
Crime Stoppers is a cost effeetive
program and has been successful in
helping to keep our streets safe.
Statistics- show that for every dollar
spent by Crime Stoppers, $16;35 in
stolen property Is recovered, and'
each case solved costs less than 00.
An :individual who Calls Crime

Since Crime Stoppers does not
know the caller's name, that person
will be asked to call back after police
have had time to investigate the tip
and determine if the information has
led to an arrest.
The caller is identified only by the
code number and if an arrest has
been made, is eligible for a , cash
reward. Unlike most reward
programs, Crime Stoppers pays on
arrest and not for conviction. '
A .volunteer board of directors,
made up of citizens in the com-
munity, determines the amount of
the reward and makes payments to
those who provide the information.
Police are not involved when
rewards are bob* paid.
