Dietary fibre: a roughage guide [PDF]
Internal Medicine Journal, 2003 Abstract The concept of dietary fibre is a complex one that incorporates the physical and physiological functions of fibre and its effects both systemically and local to the gastrointestinal tract. Dietary fibre can be usefully classified according to its solubility and fermentability, which allows rational clinical application.
