Best Answer

Fiber works in the digestive tract as it slows down the passage of food in the stomach and speeds it through the intestines. It also promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria. Fiber slows the release of blood sugar, which helps keep weight and type II Diabetes at bay. Fiber has a modest effect on cholesterol but its real cardiovascular benefit is in its effect on C-reactive protein.
