After a brief reference on the so-called diseases of "civilisation" and on their correlations with a diet rich in refined high caloric carbohydrate having poor gastric filling capacity and therefore lacking in fibre, the authors present their experience on a new product, MF/D/80, which is an association of cereal and acid fruit fibres. 25 patients (3 men and 22 women) were treated, 22 of them suffered from chronic constipation and 3 from colitis. The experiment was carried out without the use of control drugs. The aim of the research was that of verifying the efficacy and tolerability of the product. The efficacy was optimal in 88%, good in 4% and modest in 2 cases (8%) of the entire number of cases while the tolerability has been optimal in all the cases. The Authors conclude the retaining that MF/D/80 is a product that can be used with enormous advantages in chronic constipation for its efficacy, optimal tolerability and for its mechanism of action. The Authors finally underline its usefullness as an "alimentary integrator" in all those diseases (obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis etc.) which among the various etiopathogenetic moments, also count in refined alimentation.
