Yes, but fiber may a bad thing in general. We know that it cripples nutrient absorption for instance, because of the phytic acid content.Fiber claim to fame rides with it's cholesterol lowering, low glycemic features. Recent findings report that lowering total cholesterol is not as effective as increasing "good" cholesterol and decreasing "bad". E.g Targeting a high HDL and low VLDL is better than lowering total cholesterol. High total cholesterol is important in so much as it's an general indicator for high "bad" cholesterol. Cholesterol particle size (bouyant LDL particle) is a better indicator of health. Glycemic Index theory fails to explain healthy cultures on high GI diets——heavy rice and root tuber (i.e. potatoes) eating cultures. High GI foods seem to only be a problem in the insulin insensitive. Another negative of fiber is how it slows carbohydrate digestion. Which contributes to endogenous AGE accumulation in the blood——inflammation.

∙ 12y agoHigh fiber diets are good for most people. They reduce fat absorption and increase the regularity of bowel movements. However they can also reduce nutrient absorption so they are not recommended for people with nutrient deficiency problems.

Can too much fiber a bad thing?
yes, you can have too much fiber. The recommendation for women is 25grams of fiber and for men is 30grams, but it will be okay to go over the limit as long as you do it slowly. you body needs to get used to it. if you increase the intake of fiber by a significant amount, you'll probably be bloated for awhile. It will go away though. if that happens just cut back on the fiber and increase the fiber intake slooowwwlllyyyy. After a one or two weeks your body will adjust to the amount of fiber and you'll be able to take in lots of fiber and not notice anything at all but until then you should take it in little by little.
