Iodide excretion before and after revision of goiter prophylaxis (Dutch Nutrition Surveillance System)
Article Abstract:
A study was done to evaluate iodide excretion before and after revision of goiter prophylaxis. Results of the study show that revision of goiter prophylaxis did not provide adequate iodine supply for the overall population. Elderly populations surveyed in 1981 showed no mean significant difference for the 24-hour iodide excretion compared to those surveyed in 1984. These results indicate that no other additional measures are needed for goiter prophylaxis other than bread salt with 60 milligrams per kilogram potassium iodide.

Dietary intake and faecal excretion of carbohydrate by Australians: importance of achieving stool weights greater than 150 g to improve faecal markers relevant to colon cancer risk
Article Abstract:
Faecal output may offer a useful index of colon cancer risk. Consuming more non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) prompts excretion of more than 150 g of faeces per day, and also gives higher quantities of faecal-resistant starch (RS) and faecal-NSP. It is possible that diets high in RS and low in NSP could lead to increased risk of colon cancer. It seems that some starch must survive fermentation to reach the distal end if RS is to impact positively on colonic events, especially in the distal colon.

Excretion of amino acid residues from diets based on low-fibre wheat or high-fibre rye bread in human subjects with ileostomies
Article Abstract:
A study of the changes in ileal excretion of amino acid residues with the intake of diets consisting of high-fiber rye bread or low-fiber wheat in eight proctocolectomized patients shows a higher discharge of basic proteins and amino acids during the high-fibre diet intake though the relative amount of amino acids was identical in the ileal effluents of the two diets. The study indicates an impaired general ileal absorption may be due to soluble rye pentosans.
