Increasing stool weight, wheat bran increases stool weight by a ratio of 5 1. In contrast, many novel fibers that are easily incorporated into beverages and foods increase stool weight only on a ratio of 1 1. In vitro fermentation studies with whole grains have been published. Carbohydrates of oat bran (rich in beta-glucan) were consumed by bacteria faster than those of rye and wheat brans (rich in arabinoxylan). Grain fibers were fermented more slowly than inulin, causing less gas production.

Astronomy 161: The Planet Jupiter

General features and some pictures.
The planet Jupiter is shown in the adjacent Hubble Space Telescope true-color image (Ref). Jupiter is by far the largest of the planets. It is more than twice as massive as all other planets combined, if it had been only about 100 times more massive at birth (not so much by astronomical standards) it would have become a star instead of a planet. Then the Solar System might be a double star system instead of a single star with a planetary system. Jupiter has features very different from
