"covers all aspects of dietary fiber in such a comprehensive way that it is an essential reference book for everyone interested in the role of nutrition in disease prevention, not only those in fiber research. Authors from many countries make this a unique contribution to a field that has seen both good and poor research in recent years. This excellent book provides many new research findings and also the needed clarification of controversies." -John W Farquhar, MD, Stanford University School of Medicine, Professor of Medicine and Director, Stanford Wellness Center
