This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2001:980:93a5:1:64d5:af1e:9ca0:c8df (talk) at 09:47, 12 March 2017 (are really all those starches resistent?). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Carbohydrates that are not digested in the small intestine, including resistant starch foods such as potatoes, beans, oats, wheat flour, as well as several non-polisacacáridos oligosaccharides and starch, are digested in a variable when they reach the large intestine.

There is a word missing here after variable. Anyone know what it is?

I was wondering that too, maybe it is "variable degree". But I suspect that the sentence has more problems -- wheat flour, oats and (warm) potatoes as resistant starches, does not appear to be accurate. A more descriptive split of resistent and normally digested starches seems to be called for.
