Talk:Carbohydrate digestion

Carbohydrates that are not digested in the small intestine, including resistant starch foods such as potatoes, beans, oats, wheat flour, as well as several non-polisacacáridos oligosaccharides and starch, are digested in a variable when they reach the large intestine.

There is a word missing here after variable. Anyone know what it is?

I was wondering that too, maybe it is "variable degree". But I suspect that the sentence has more problems -- wheat flour, oats and (warm) potatoes as resistant starches, does not appear to be accurate. A more descriptive split of resistent and normally digested starches seems to be called for. Curiously, the one reference below the article is to hamster digestion, not human digestion.
