Grandma Called it Roughage: Fiber Facts and Fallacies

Written specifically for non-scientists, this book is must-reading for anyone concerned about health and nutrition. With scientific facts to support the statements made about the known health benefits of fiber, Dr. Ory (Ph.D) offers an interesting, sometimes humorous, approach that will appeal to the general reader. Although not intended to be the final word on dietary fiber (research goes on continually), the book is intended to quell rumors about fiber's benefits and limitations. Includes several recipes for simple, tasty dishes that contain both soluble and insoluble types of fiber.
