In addition to the soHd form of natural mbber it is available as a soHd suspended in water, known as latex. Synthetic mbbers are also available in latex form. Latex has become an important commodity used in the manufacture of dipped goods for health and disease protection. The principal uses of natural mbber are as follows tires and retreading, 70% latex (gloves, balloons), 12% mechanical goods, 9% load-bearing components, 4% and other, 5%.

Fiber components are the principal energy source for colonic bacteria with a further contribution from digestive tract mucosal polysaccharides. Rate of fermentation varies with the chemical nature of the fiber components. Short-chain fatty acids generated by bacterial action are partiaUy absorbed through the colon waU and provide a supplementary energy source to the host. Therefore, dietary fiber is partiaUy caloric. The short-chain fatty acids also promote reabsorption of sodium and water from the colon and stimulate colonic blood flow and pancreatic secretions. Butyrate has added health benefits. Butyric acid is the preferred energy source for the colonocytes and has been shown to promote normal colonic epitheUal ceU differentiation. Butyric acid may inhibit colonic polyps and tumors. The relationships of intestinal microflora to health and disease have been reviewed (10).
