Soluble Dietary Fiber (SDF) is more Important than Insoluble Dietary Fiber (IDF) for LifeStyle disease

Make sure you look for  Natural SDF or IDF not Natural or chemically processed supplements

Since FDA did not set a maximum limit on IDF or a minimum limit on SDF , then we suggest that LifeStyle disease patients do not eat more than 5g IDF/day /adult and eat a minimum of 20g SDF/Day/adult

Always check what percentage , each fruit or vegetable have in SDF and IDF , eg they say apples are rich in soluble fiber , but the truth is that a small apple doesnot have more than 2.3% SDF and about the same percentage from IDF , so you need to eat 5.4 apples per day to get your minimum day intake of DF (25g) . Even this 5.4 apples , though expensive and not practical , means that you end up eating 12.42 g of IDF enough to sweep away all the good minerals you might have eaten that day . They also say that legumes such as Lentils are good sources of SDF , but this is not correct , they have only 0.5g SDF in 16g lentils , this is only 3% but IDF is 21% , and it is about 24% in Fava Beans , that is why western people do not eat beans and call Horse Beans , because only animals lkike horses and cows have the enzymes to digest the high amount of IDF , and that is why western people do not also eat lentils and if they happened to take they will only take as soup ( IDF diluted with water ) . So the misinformation is only targeting patients in developing countries who consume billions of $ in drugs because of eating junk food full of IDF

Serving size :- always find out how many grams SDF per each gram of the serving size in food packet and also the %DV which is the amount of SDF in each serving divided by the minimum daily intake recommended by FDA (20g for SDF and 5g for IDF)

price comparison is very important for fibre intake , your active ingredients must always be fibre in food packets sold to you , what will be the price per gram SDF you pay for a fibre supplement or  natural fibre

does the food supplement packet say clearly how much SDFF and how much IDF are there in their packet? If not you will be risking not to maintain your daily fibre intake which is now more important than any amount of food you take per day

You will see major institute giving incorrect amounts of SDF in some natural fruits or vegetables , driven mainly by favourtizm to one supplier or another of these natural products ,

You will see scientific papers talking science about fiber but at the bottom of their scientific papers they recommend some junk SDF or natural product which is not rich in SDF

Remember you can only say that product is rich in SDF if it its single serving has %DV=15% or Above

The minimum and maximum limits set above for SDF & IDF is guesses only and are not supported by any scientific evidence but are set in absence and silence of scientific authorities to study this important issues , but when you see that western nations do not eat Legumes but braise them as excellent source of SDF we think it is kind of conspiracy , so patients must play it safe and avoid eating too much IDF and at the same time exceed their limit on SDF since WHO/FAO classify them as ADI UNLIMITED
