Again, this is about PLANT FIBER, not grain fiber, per se. And my analysis
included my knowledge of complementary studies about fiber from fruits and
vegetables but not grains.
I personally consume large amounts of plant fiber not only from fruits and
veggies generally, but also specifically from munching daily on raw broccoli
stalks after I chop the crowns off for use in my salads.
As far as I know, plant fiber is plant fiber is plant fiber. If you have
reason to believe otherwise then please enlighten us.
