The following information is based on USDA Nutrition Facts for one pear serving - a medium-size pear weighing 166 grams or about the size of an average adult fist. One medium pear provides 6 grams of dietary fiber, of which 41% is pectin. Fiber:
Pears are an excellent source of natural dietary fiber. One pear will give you 24% of your recommended daily allowance of fiber. Fiber contains no calories, and is a necessary element of a healthy diet as it helps sustain blood sugar levels and promotes regularity. Pectin is a type of soluble fiber that binds to fatty substances in the digestive tract and promotes their elimination. This seems to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber also helps regulate the body's use of sugars. Studies indicate that diets high in fiber may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.

God had no choice but to banish them from the Garden of Eden and place at the entrance of the Garden, cherubim and a flaming sword to keep [block] the way of the Tree of Life.
