Total Dietary Fiber and Mineral Absorption

  • Chapter
Dietary Fiber

Abstract

The dietary fiber hypothesis states: “A diet that is rich in foods that contain plant cell walls is protective against a range of diseases, in particular those prevalent in affluent Western Communities.” Conversely, the hypothesis implies that “in some instances a diet providing a low intake of plant cell walls is a causative factor in the etiology of the disease, and in others it provides the condition under which other etiological factors are more active” (Southgate, 1982).
