Technically, dietary fiber consists
of complex carbohydrates (e.g.,
cellulose) that are polymers made
up of multiple monosaccharides
that are held together by
glycosidic bonds. Got that?

Sources of dietary fiber
are usually defined as
either "(water) soluble"
or "insoluble" and are
)
present in all plant
foods. Insoluble fiber
helps to increase bulk,
soften stool, and short-
en "transit" time, while
soluble fiber undergoes
fermentation with signifi-
cant health benefits.

Some notable health benefits of a
high-fiber diet are: prevent con-
stipation, better digestive health,
lower blood cholesterol, better
blood sugar control, weight loss
assistance, and possible (evi-
dence is mixed) colorectal cancer
benefits.

Mayoclinic.com has an excellent
list of high-fiber foods at: tinyurl.
com/3yflh9. I hope this helps
answer your question.
