High fibre foods are important for individuals who must monitor blood sugar levels. Fibre slows down the digestive process and the absorption of glucose entering into the blood stream, which helps to effectively keep sugar at an even level.

Exposure to diesel exhaust induces changes in EEG in human volunteers. Crüts B, van Etten L, Törnqvist H, Blomberg A, Sandström T, Mills NL, Borm PJ. Part Fibre Toxicol. 2008 Mar 11;5:4. PMID: 18334019 doi:10.1186/1743-8977-5-4
