  • Chapter
Dietary Fiber

Abstract

The effects of fiber on vitamin bioavailability were previously reviewed (Kelsay, 1982). At that time it was concluded that available data indicated that fiber would not likely interfere with vitamin absorption and bioavailability except possibly in situations where the naturally occurring vitamin might be bound to fiber in plant cell walls.
