Hi Marlene,
Resistant starch was discovered in the 1980s I believe. There are a lot of studies on it on Pubmed. I did a lot of research which convinced me and my nurse friend it was a good thing to try. Uncooked raw potato starch is an easy way to get it. If you google potato starch, you'll no doubt find the main website where everybody is trying it. It supposedly has good effects on blood glucose and improved quality of sleep. I can vouch for the sleep, after years of insomnia.
I also think the juice is helping because of the nutrients, and because of my gut problems with wheat I don't think I was absorbing enough nutrients. Also, it is hard to have a diet good enough to get the nutrients you need. Hopefully as my gut heals, other things will follow along.
