Studies Reinforce the Importance of Fiber

The National Cancer Institute along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture have recommended consumption of 20g to 35g of dietary fiber. It is estimated that men and women in this country between the ages of 19 to 50 typically consume only 12g to 17g of fiber daily, which is extremely inadequate. Research studies are continuing to show that people who consume more fiber decrease their risks of developing heart disease and colon cancer.
