Fruits and vegetables generally possess a high soluble DF/insoluble DF ratio that is associated with slow glucose absorption, high colonic fermentability, lower serum cholesterol levels, and enhancement of immune functions (McCleary and Prosky 2001). 

SDF content is high in fruits, vegetables, and legumes and is associated with colonic degradation and high fermentability, slow glucose absorption, enhanced immune functions, and lower serum cholesterol levels. IDF is predominant in cereals and legumes fermentation is slow and incomplete, and they have more pronounced effects on bowel habit. 

If one considers the immune system as a continuum, dysregulation of immune function can also be expressed in the development of immune mediated diseases via enhanced...

Weeks et al. 1979). Responses of this sort may be due, in part, to compromised immune functions. Studies in animals, using a battery of in vitro and short-term in vivo studies of immunotoxicity following inhalation and oral exposure, may enhance our overall understanding of the effects of hexachloroethane on disease resistance.
