© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Viscous Fibers Soluble and more fermentable Gums and mucilages Pectins Psyllium Some hemicelluloses
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Viscous Fibers Sources –Whole-grains, fruits, legumes, seeds and husks, vegetables –Extracted and used as food additives
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Viscous Fibers Lower blood cholesterol Slow glucose absorption Slow transit of food through upper GI tract
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Viscous Fibers Holds moisture in stools, softening them Yield small fat molecules that the colon can use for energy
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Viscous Fibers Lower risk of heart disease Lower risk of diabetes

© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Nonviscous Fibers Insoluble and less fermentable Cellulose Lignins Psyllium Resistant starch Many hemicelluloses
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Nonviscous Fibers Sources –Brown rice, fruits, legumes, seeds, vegetables, wheat bran, whole grains –Extracted and used as food additives
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Nonviscous Fibers Increase fecal weight Speed fecal passage through colon Provide bulk and feelings of fullness
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth Nonviscous Fibers Alleviate constipation Lower risks of diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, appendicitis May help with weight management
