I have a question. Aside from the well pulicised claims that fiber helps with the digestive process, are there any other beneifts or even harmfull effects of fiber?

What about fiber supplements? i.e. Metamucil etc....


Any information you all would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

It depends on what amounts you are taking and what types (soluble and insoluble) you ingest.

In general fiber helps with stabilizing blood glucose, lowering cholesterol, etc...
