Re: Truth about insoluble fibers...I'm confused       12/01/07 04:39 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA There are a number of databases such as the Fineli database that will give you the amount of dietary SF and IF. They will not give you information about the amount of functional fiber in foods. See this web page for a more detailed discussion. The Fineli database says that 100 grams of spinach contains 1.3 grams of fiber of which 0.9 grams is IF and 0.4 grams is SF (polysaccharides, non-cellulosic, water-soluble). The Linus Pauling Institute says that spinach contains 65% IF and 35% SF. The leaves of most if not all vegetables contain more IF than SF. There is also a good overall discussion of fiber on their website too.
