Fiber May Not Be So Good for You . . .

New ideas are the bread and butter of the press and also of thinking individuals. Scientists can debate the value of fiber, for instance, but no one has done more in recent years to go against the mainstream thinking on this important subject than science writer Konstantin Monastyrsky. His Web site debunks the myths about fiber's value, and puts into question the old nostrum that we should add more fiber to our diets for better health. References
