<p>Dr J Cummings and Dr D Jenkins discuss dietary fibre in the diet. They describe what dietary fibre is and list the main components of fibre in different foods. They also look at the history of the introduction of fibre into the diet and compare dietary fibre intake in Britain with different parts of the world. Detailed outlines of how fibre from food is broken down in the gut are given, using tables, charts and electron micrographs - we see how stool size and texture changes according to fibre intake and how the transition time of foods through the gut are altered by changes in  fibre consumption. 7 segments.</p>
