Abstract
Fiber is one of the most important foodstuffs in a Wellness diet. In fact, it is the cornerstone of a Wellness diet. It is astounding that, until recently, this group of foods, which has been around for such a long time, has gotten so little attention. Fiber was once much more common in the American diet than it is now. Over the years refined foods such as cakes and cookies have replaced many of the high fiber foods we used to enjoy, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, and cereals.
