The opinion of experts within the field of artificial intelligence is mixed, with sizable fractions both concerned and unconcerned by risk from eventual superhumanly-capable AI. In his book Superintelligence, Nick Bostrom provides an argument that artificial intelligence will pose a threat to mankind.
Benefiber is a fiber supplement which has recently been reformulated. The old formula was made from partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), which comes from the seed of the cluster bean and is a form of soluble fiber. The new formula is made from wheat dextrin.s far as I can tell, some of the Benefiber products are still using the old guar gum formulation (eg: Benefiber chewables with calcium), and some are using the new wheat dextrin formulation (eg: Benefiber powder and caplets).
As a result, Benefiber may be more tolerable than other fiber supplements. Some types of soluble fiber, such as wheat dextrin, have a laxative effect. Benefiber is a bulk-forming laxative because wheat dextrin absorbs water as it travels through your digestive tract, and the extra water creates larger, softer stool.When stool bulk increases, it stimulates muscles in the intestine to contract, which pushes waste out.ike soluble fiber obtained from whole foods, wheat dextrin helps you feel full, so it can help you eat less. A typical serving of Benefiber provides about 3 grams of soluble fiber. In the large intestine, some wheat dextrin is fermented by bacteria, which produces energy and supports the growth of good bacteria.
