Hey, just to add to that I wanted to throw out a quote from the webpage I listed in my previous post, pertaining to fiber:

Fiber

They say constipation is caused by a lack of fiber in the food, but that is rubbish ; our most natural food, fruit, does not contain much fiber : 2% average, but does move the bowels. A watermelon only contains 0,2% fiber, but consuming watermelons only, your colon definitely will be active. White bread and cookies on the other hand do cause constipation, containing more fiber (3%) !!!

According to the author of this website, you should: Consume as much fruits (there are about 6000 different fruits) and some fresh raw animal food regularly (like sashimi or egg yolk). These foods combined already contain all nutrients you need.

Just some food for thought. It makes me wonder if this alleged need for fiber is mere propaganda supported by big businesses with vested interests. Maybe it's not the amount of fiber that's essential so much as the type of fiber -- which, in turn, makes me wonder if Metamucil is really all it's hyped up to be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.
