My problem is not getting enough of it but figuring out how much is too much before I overindulge. There's nothing like congratulating oneself on eating plenty of fiber only to wake up the next morning with a gut full of pain and a pressing need to find the potty.

"Commercial interests were quick to see the potential in the recommendation and jump on the bran wagon. Burkitt's recommendation was based on vegetable fibre, but bran (cereal fibre) has a far higher fibre content and bran was a practically worthless by-product of the milling process that, until then, had been thrown away. Almost overnight, it became a highly priced profit maker. Although totally inedible, backed by Burkitt's fibre hypothesis, bran could now be promoted as a valuable food. But Dr. Hugh Trowell, Burkitt's partner and another strong advocate of dietary fibre, stated in 1974 that:"A serious confusion of thought is produced by referring to the dietary fibre hypothesis as the bran hypothesis, for many Africans do not consume cereal or bran"" good read overall http://easydiagnosis.com/articles/cholesterol3.html Sorry for the double comment…but just came across this also in relation to the Africans and low incidence of colon cancer research…and how the “Bran” industry jumped on that bandwagon.
