Incomplete Absorption of the Carbohydrate in All-Purpose Wheat Flour
Abstract
MALABSORPTION of the carbohydrate lactose is a common cause of flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea in otherwise healthy persons. The possibility that such symptoms could result from malabsorption of the other major dietary carbohydrates (sucrose or starch) has received little consideration since these carbohydrates are assumed to be completely absorbed in health.We measured breath hydrogen to assess the absorption of the carbohydrate in white, all-purpose wheat flour. These studies demonstrate that nearly all normal subjects fail to absorb an appreciable portion of this form of starch, possibly because of an interaction between the starch and protein moieties of wheat . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
