Stool weight, fecal constituents, @entity3645 , fat, neutral @entity3150 , and intestinal transit time were recorded in 28 subjects over 18 mo. During the first 12 mo the subjects ate white bread. They were studied for an initial period of 7 days, and after 6 mo (study period 1). For the first 6 mo they ate their usual intake of bread, they then increased their white bread intake by 62 g/day for 6 mo (study @entity5394 ). The subjects ate a self-selected diet throughout the 18 mo study. During the last 6 mo (study @entity5395 ) the subjects replaced white bread by the same amount of wholemeal bread as in study @entity5394 . No increase in stool weight occurred until study @entity5395 when there was an increase of 20%. There developed a linear relationship between stool weight and intestinal transit time which was not found during the initial first and second study periods. A seasonal influence on serum @entity165 was not observed during the wholemeal bread period. Fecal @entity6741 excretion was unchanged throughout the experiment.
