How to Use It

Western diets generally provide approximately 10 grams of fibre per day. People in less-developed countries consume 40 to 60 grams per day. Increasing fibre intake to the amounts found in such diets may be desirable.

Where to Find It

Whole grains are particularly high in insoluble fibre. Oats, barley, beans, fruit (but not fruit juice), psyllium, chia seed, and some vegetables contain significant amounts of both forms of fibre and are the best sources of soluble fibre. The best source of lignan, by far, is linseed (not linseed oil, regardless of packaging claims to the contrary).

Possible Deficiencies

Most people who consume a typical Western diet are fibre-deficient. Eating white flour, white rice, and fruit juice (as opposed to whole fruit) all contribute to this problem. Many so-called wheat products contain mostly white flour. Read labels and avoid “flour” and “unbleached flour,” both of which are simply white flour. Junk food is also fibre-depleted. The diseases listed above are more likely to occur with low-fibre diets.

The benefits of eating whole grains are largely derived from the beneficial constituents present in the outer layers of the grains, which are stripped away in making white flour and white rice. Preliminary research has found that women who ate mostly whole grains had a lower mortality rate than women who ate a comparable amount of refined grains.1
