Putting a figure on dietary fibre
Colin Berry
(Dr Berry is a nutritional biochemist at the Flour Milling and Baking Research Association. For several years he has been working with Dr Nat Fisher on contributions of cereals to health. A preliminary report of their lifespan trial of cereal dietary fibre in rats appeared in a recent issue of The Lancet, 1984, II, 8397. Their work strongly suggests that diverticular disease is due to a incidence of the disease could be reduced by increasing the fibre content of the diet.)

Abstract
Imagine Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norkey arriving at the summit of Everest (29,029 ft) in 1953, only to discover that they were standing on several thousand feet of ice. Imagine the questions that would have followed. Had they climbed the wrong mountain? Could they still legitimately claim to be standing at the highest point on the Earth's surface? How should the heights of mountains be recorded for official purposes?
