Exactly. I thought that it was common knowledge that fiber was good for you.

Guess not.

But are you getting enough?

Everybody knows that the more fiber you have, the better.

duh!

If you're not keeping track, I'm guessing you're not getting enough, and may not know the best sources for you.

If it's good enough for the beavers........

And why does my consumption of fiber bother you so much?

It doesn't bother me. What you consume is your business. But this is a serious subject and worthy of more than flip comments without content.

Re: Have You Heard The News About Fiber?

When you eat a low fat, plant based, whole foods diet, like I do, everything is fiber! I eat at least 2 lbs of raw/cooked veggies a day, lots of potatoes, rice, beans & lentils, lots of fruit for dessert/snacks. I seriously can't believe how this is 'news'. It's just Nutrition 101. Like I said before....all those meat, cheese, egg, oil eating folks w/ infrequent bowel routines might be FINALLY waking up.....

Exactly. Just like it's "news" that one should drink plenty of water!

Me, too! Rice isn't a great source, but beans and lentils are powerhouses!

sid, I know you are on top of food news, but there is news about meds you may be on. You might want to check into that.

Google Full Plate Living Home, and sign up to receive emails and videos (free) to teach you all about fiber, which foods to eat, very informative. I am really enjoying this, and learning.

Re: Have You Heard The News About Fiber?

Gosh people can be so mean. Why bother to comment if it is just to be snarky? NoelSeven was just sharing information that HAS been all over the news today. I too saw it on ABC World News Tonight, and took note of it. The "meat" of this new study was claiming that when a lot of fiber was added to diet people loose weight, more than people who don't.

So, please chill out. (My daughter's school district has this campaign right now called #benice. Iwould say we could use some of that here.)
