Question: What's the difference between Dietary Fiber and Soluble Fiber? You need 25g of fiber per day for optimal digestion. I bought some Metamucil as a fiber supplement and it says per serving: Dietary Fiber 3g. Soluble Fiber 2g. What kind of fiber would I need 25g of? Dietary Fiber or Soluble Fiber? And, in a nutshell, what's the difference between them?

Answer: OK, quick explanation: Soluble fibre is fiber that will dissolve in water most commonly found in fruit and used as energy in the body. It collects in a gel like mass in the intestinal tract and slows down the transit of food to help nutrient absorption. Insoluble fibre is basically roughage like bran. This stays in the stomach and intestine absorbing liquid and expanding slightly. As it passes through the digestive tract it gently scrapes away any deposits and cleans the tract as it passes through. Both are essential to a happy digestive system. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and wholemeal foods you shouldn't need to supplement.

Question: What exactly is fiber optic communication capable of? I've been doing a lot of looking into Fiber optics and Fiber to the Home. throughout all of my searches i have yet to land on a page telling me the exact capabilities. Anyone know what this stuff is capable of? I mean, when we reach the point of fiber to the outlet with new home construction are we eliminating telephone and cable jacks? How many simultaneous forms of media are capable of being transmitted over a single fiber optic feed? phone, internet, and "cable" television? Any help would be appreciated, this stuff is fascinating!

Answer: The physical limitations of what can be pushed through fiber optic cables has not been reached yet. New techniques are still being developed to squeeze and compress and run different wavelengths of light across fiber optic cables in order to increase the speed and amount of data that can be pushed across the cables. Here in Japan, fiber optic to the home is already being offered for cable and internet service. With IP Phone offereings already out there (Skype, Vonage, etc), you can eventually eliminate the copper wires coming into your home for those services provided you have a provider that can support you. Inside the home is another issue. Copper wire is still the cheapest and most sensible thing to put inside a house aside from wireless technology. Fiber optic equipment is very expensive--too expensive for the home right now. Give it a few more years (maybe 50) and perhaps everything will be light driven--at least until they find something else to use!

Question: How much fiber is ok and diff between Dietery fiber and soluble fiber? So whats the difference between them to ? I have been running latley and stopped eating bad food and try to eat my fiber usually like 30-36 . I am not sure if dats how much i should be eating. Like do dietary fiber and soluble fiber add up to the how much fiber u eat a day? So if i am on a diet is soluble or insoluble better for me?

Answer: It is recommended that you eat at least 30g of fibre per day (but people eating less than that should increase it slowly). Dietary fibre is all the fibre that you eat (eg soluble fibre PLUS insoluble fibre) Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water it's main role is to provide bulk in the intestine (helping to prevent constipation) Soluble fibre does dissolve in water and forms a gel in the intestine. This also helps to prevent constipation but also can help to decrease cholesterol (cholesterol binds to the gel and isn't absorbed into the blood). Insoluble fibre is found in a large amounts in most of fruit and vegies.

Question: How do I consume enough fiber sufficient enough for daily intake value? Is cereal the solution to fulfill the daily fiber requirement? I keep buying these Fiber-rich cereals but their fiber content is not enough to satisfy the daily quota. How do I include the right amount of fiber in my diet? I mean without being expensive.

Answer: that's a great question. Woman and Men need 20-35g of fiber per day. That's a LOT of fiber. In general you want to get your fiber from a variety of sources - and as many natural sources as possible. Good sources include: Green Beans, Fruits like Apples, Oranges, etc. dried beans, hummus, ..., you can also supplement with sources like Fiber One or metamucil. But, if you eat about 1 cup of beans per day (in any form) you're more likely to hit your daily target. Hope that helps! Brian.

Question: Whats the difference between dietary fiber and soluble fiber? You need 25g of fiber per day for optimal digestion. I bought some Metamucil as a fiber supplement and it says per serving: Dietary Fiber 3g. Soluble Fiber 2g. What kind of fiber would I need 25g of? Dietary Fiber or Soluble Fiber? And, in a nutshell, what's the difference between them?

Answer: Dietary fiber per wiki - Dietary fiber can be soluble (able to dissolve in water) or insoluble (not able to dissolve in water). Soluble fiber, like all fiber, cannot be digested. But it does change as it passes through the digestive tract, being transformed (fermented) by bacteria there. Soluble fiber also absorbs water to become a gelatinous substance that passes through the body. Insoluble fiber has bulking action but is mostly unchanged by fermentation as it passes through the body.

Question: What makes some fiber optic christmas trees able to be outdoors and others only indoors? I have a fiber optic tree that I was going to put on my balcony of my apartment complex. It would not get wet from snow, rain, or ice. The only thing that would affect it is the cold..so I was wondering what makes fiber optic indoor trees different from those that can be used out doors as well?

Answer: Cold will not impact it so you should be fine. The difference between indoor and outdoor electrical items is their resistance to water. Bulbs must be sealed, exposed internal wiring insulated, and usually they have a grounded plug (three prong) instead of an indoor two-prong plug.

Question: Will a carbon fiber hood look good on a green 96 Camry sedan? My friend is offering me his carbon fiber hood which he had on his 96 Camry for $75 since he upgraded, it's in perfect condition and I know it will fit. So do you think it will look good on a green Camry sedan? I am also planning to get it painted orange probably next year, so do you think it will look good on that color also. By the way it is the common dark grey almost black carbon fiber hood. Please help. Thanks. It is OEM style.

Answer: No, please no, that will look uber tacky any weird unless you have a dark green that I can't picture but crazy bright colors will contrast a lot. You need either a black, dark blue, anything dark. I'd love a carbon fiber hood though. Good luck dude...

Question: What is the fiber optic part of fiber optic firearm sights made up and where can I get it in bulk? The material is a colored plastic material. It may be a fiber optic, but I don't know for sure. The most common colors are red and green.

Answer: All I can think of is to try scientific supply catalogs, or maybe Radio Shack or some such place. Or, you could try a Google search. Good luck with your search.

Question: How does cooking beans affect the fiber content? I have been trying to get more fiber in my diet and I read online that dry beans have a lot of fiber. Obviously, I'm not going to eat them raw, so what happens to the fiber content when I cook them?

Answer: As long as you do not get rid of the outside of the bean you are getting plenty of fiber. nfd♥

Question: What's the difference between carbon fiber and silver carbon fiber? I would like to know the diffence in properties, strengths, and weaknesses (if there is any) between the two. The reason being is because I'm making or buying a lightweight chassis for my radio controlled truck. Silver carbon fiber is more expensive than regular carbon fiber and I need to know why before I buy. Any help would be great.

Answer: I would think silver carbon fiber would be tougher or stronger as silver is a more maleable substance.

Question: What is the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber for a person with prediabetes? Is one better than the other? I know most fiber is soluble, so it's very bizare to me that this cereal that I'm eating has only 3 g of soluble fiber and 10 g of insoluble fiber. It's usually the other way around. So what does this mean for my blood sugar level and crapping experience?

Answer: Your body needs both. Pre diabetes is Insulin resistance and you need to have a low carb diet 20-30 carbs a day. Carbohydrates are simply long chains of sugar molecules hooked end-to-end. When a person eats carbohydrates their normal digestive process breaks up these chains into the individual sugar molecules, and they pass right through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream, and load up the bloodstream with sugar. If this happened every once in a while it would not be a problem. But as diets today are so high in carbohydrates, people have a constant high level of sugar pouring into their bloodstream year after year! This requires their body to continuously produce high levels of insulin to keep that sugar level down. (Insulin’s job is to push sugar out of the bloodstream into the cells where it is used for energy.) Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. The result is type 2 diabetes! Type 2 diabetes is actually an extreme case of insulin resistance. You can also get help with insulin resistance by taking specific vitamins and herbs.

Question: What is the function of fiber in the body? What is the function of fiber in the body? What are some examples of food sources of dietary fiber? What is the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber? What are the fiber recommendations for children versus adults, according to the article? What did you learn about fiber that you were not aware of prior to reading this information?

Answer: Firts thing 'bout fibers is thats its impossible to find fibers from an animal origin!!!! so all fibers are from a plant origin... foods rich in fibers: fruits and vegetables, note:eat an apple with its skin because most of the fibers are found there..... -grains, whole grain are richer in fibers 'cause there skin are still on.. etc..... Fibers can't be digested when u eat them, due to the lack of specific enzymes in the body to digest them, soo they are found to facilitate the proccess of digestion, & they help the digested food move easily in the small intestine!!!!!! hope I helped!!!!!!

Question: What's the difference between true carbon fiber and plain carbon fiber? My friend and I were looking at motorcycle goggles and some of them say "true carbon fiber" and some say "carbon fiber"..... What's the difference?

Answer: "True Carbon fiber" is probably just a marketing term used to separate it from goggles that are just wrapped in carbon fiber, or just have the carbon laminated weave over plastic.

Question: How long does it take for fiber to digest in your stomach? I need some ways to feel full and I was thinking about taking more fiber in my diet. Good idea? How long does it take for fiber to digest? I guess not long since it just ruins through the intestines right?

Answer: Human enzymes cannot digest fiber so it passes through the small intestine into the colon. This is good because fiber adds bulk to the stool that makes elimination easier and helps keep the colon healthy, and yes it makes you feel full and is very healthy for you.
