Overview
Dietary fiber, found in the walls of plant cells, cannot be digested by enzymes in the human digestive tract but plays an essential role in human health. It is found in all plant-based foods, with most whole foods containing a combination of the two types of fiber, including soluble and insoluble fiber. Both types of fiber help maintain the health of the intestinal tract and promote regular elimination of stool.
