No, this is totally untrue       10/31/05 05:05 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA You need to get a MINIMUM of 25-35 grams per day, total. But getting more than that is good for you overall health, not bad. There are lots of countries in the world where people average 60-80 grams of fiber per day, and some African countries actually go all the way up to 150 grams per day. Their diet-related disease rates are much, much lower than those in Western countries, and a lot of that is attributable to their fiber intake (as well as all other nutrients they're getting from those plant sources of fiber, and the lack of saturated fats in their diets). - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
