Dietary fibre: a roughage guide [PDF]

open access: yesInternal 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.
