Not all fibers are created equal!
There are numerous types of soluble and insoluble fibers, some of which are much better at promoting good health than others. And even some of those fibers that help the body do its job can produce negative side effects such as bloating and gas, even when consumed in small amounts.
That's why certain types of fiber cannot be added to food products. SolaGrain, in contrast, can be used in significant amounts with virtually no unpleasant side effects.
