Viscosity of the dietary fiber is important; the greater the viscosity, the greater the effect. " The konjac glucomanann is the most viscosity soluble fiber in the nature. Soluble fiber and health 1. Acts like a sponge, absorbing fluid as it moves through system. This results in softer, bigger stools (fewer hemorrhoids). 2. Slows release of sugar to the bloodstream (hypoglycemia, diabetes). 3. Prevents hunger by filling the stomach and regulating blood sugar. 4. Lowers cholesterol *** gel captures bile acids and cholesterol in diet. If bile acids are not reabsorbed, body has to use cholesterol in the blood to make more. 8-10 grams a day are necessary to lower cholesterol. 5.
