Eating plenty of fiber helps keep the digestive tract moving. This, in turn, lessens the amount of time the intestinal tract is exposed to foods and breakdown products of foods, some of which may contain toxins."This great main dish has the added benefit of containing fruit and vegetables and is quick to cook. Best of all, my family loves couscous!" -JUDY O.NUTRITION FACTS: High in potassium, iron, magnesium and folic acid excellent source of fiber1 Serving: Calories 575 (Calories from Fat 65) Fat 7g (Saturated 3g) Cholesterol 10mg Sodium 1070mg Potassium 800mg Carbohydrate 114g (Dietary Fiber 13g) Protein 27g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 4% Vitamin C 4% Calcium 14% Iron 28% Folic Acid 52% Magnesium 26% DIET EXCHANGES: 6 starch, 1 Very-Lean Meat, 1 Fruit, 1 VegetableHelpful For These Side Effects: (c)From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
