“I think the answer is an unequivocal YES! Fiber does not become part of the body’s new tissues or processes, but without it, there is certainly enough evidence now that the body’s growth and biochemical processes do not function at their optimum rate. For those who feel that everything is going well with their present high-fat, low-fiber diet that tastes so good that they feel no need to change it, just remember Murphy’s Law No. 6: If everything seems to be going well as is, it means you may have overlooked something. That something is fiber.” From Grandma Called It Roughage by Dr. Robert Ory.
