Dietary fiber is the "remnants of plant cell walls that are resistant to digestion by the alimentary enzymes of man. It comprises various polysaccharides and lignins."[1]

Classification

Diagram of a grain.

Soluble fiber

Soluble fiber is viscous. It is in oats, oat ß-glucan, psyllium (ispaghula), barley, soybeans, dried beans and peas, and citrus.[2] Soluble fiber may affect cholesterol absorption more than insoluble fiber does.[3]

Insoluble fiber

Insoluble fiber is not viscous. Insoluble fiber may bind water and thus reduces transit time in the colon. It is in whole wheat and many vegetables.[2]

Medical uses

Consuming dietary fiber, especially the bran, may reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus type 2.[4]

Consuming dietary fiber may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, especially in men.[5][6] However, this association is not consistent and not confirmed.[7]

Consuming fiber, especially soluble fiber[8][9] with psyllium being better than bran[10], may treat irritable bowel syndrome[11], chronic constipation[12], and hypercholesterolemia[13].
