3 facts about fiber

The three facts that I discovered about fiber are:
1. oat bran is an excellent source of fiber. 50% of it is soluble and that helps to lower blood cholesterol
    levels.
    For me this is a great thing because I have high cholesterol. It is hereditary. So I guess I better look
    into eating oat bran for breakfast.
2. Most fiber pill actually contain little fiber and no other ingredients. It is much better for you to get your
    fiber from whole foods. Plus you get vitamins and minerals which the fiber pills are also lacking.
    I have always thought about buying glucomann fiber pills, but just could never bring myself around
    to doing it. It just always felt wrong. I guess I was smart for not doing it. It would have been a
    complete waste of money.
3. Excessive fiber intake can cause fiber to bind with certain essential minerals and cause them to be 
    eliminated instead of absorbed into the bloodstream.
    Wow, that's not good. Don't want to go there. I have worried about this too. What if I eat too much
    fiber. I think it would have to be on a continual basis though. Like day after day. I would be afraid
    it would make me feel too full, and then I wouldn't eat enough of the good stuff that I need.
    I am really enjoying these classes. I am learning so much and absorbing it like a sponge.
