What is Fiber?
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
For a while it seemed that everyone was talking about the importance of fiber, and its role in preventing a variety of diseases. After much speculation, we now have a few answers about what fiber really does, and what makes it an important component of good nutrition.
Fiber is simply things that humans cannot digest. Many vegetables and fruit have methylcellulose – the stringy stuff– and we, as humans cannot digest it. Cows can, horses can, deer can – but not humans. This is why it is better to cook vegetables – because by breaking down some of the fiber our bodies can get to the nutrients that are locked into the vegetables.
