Fiber consumption tends to decrease the amount of cholesterol in the blood stream, which hypothetically should also decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, this has yet to be empirically demonstrated.
Regardless of the cardiovascular benefits, consuming 48 g of whole grain fiber per day has been shown to decrease the risk of colorectal cancer as well as help maintain a healthy body weight. Therefore, it's a good idea to try to shift your diet to include more fiber if possible.
