Insoluble vs. soluble fiber; Fiber - soluble vs. insoluble
InformationThere are two different types of fiber -- soluble and insoluble. Both are important for health, digestion, and preventing diseases.
- Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion. This slows digestion. Soluble fiber is found in oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables. Soluble fiber has been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol, which can help prevent Heart disease.
- Insoluble fiber is found in foods such as wheat bran, vegetables, and whole grains. It adds bulk to the stool and appears to help food pass more quickly through the stomach and intestines.

Salt vs water?
Sodium chloride is very soluble in water.
Why are hydrocarbons generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like carbon tetra chloride and ether?
Polarity plays the biggest role. Like substances dissolve other like substances. Hydrocarbons (which are non-polar) are soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. They are not soluble in polar solvents, such as water or ether. If you have taken a biology course, remember hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic.
Why is SiO2 more soluble in Sea Water vs Fresh Water?
The difference in solubility is not significant.
Which pathway water soluble vs non water soluble takes the longer?
Water-soluble pathways generally take longer than non-water soluble pathways. This is because water-soluble compounds dissolve in water and are typically excreted through the kidneys, requiring more time for processing and elimination. Non-water soluble compounds may be eliminated through the liver or stored in fat, processes that can be less time consuming.
What are the advantages of fiber optic vs. standard switches for telephone systems?
This one is very easy. Fiber optics are the future, and everything else is just old fashioned. You will be able to get more done with fiber optics than with anything else.
Why does the dietary fiber and sugar not add up to total carbohydrates?
you can't digest dietary fiber. Total carbohydrates means what you've eaten and digested...
Will there be Smackdown vs Raw 2010?
Fiber helps combat cholesterol by cleaning out the bloodstream. Most fruits, vegetables and nuts carry high levels of fiber and are recommended by the Food and Drug. I would suggest fish and chicken unfried, salads and greens and such and lots of vegetables.
What is the benefit of fiber vs copper for home network use?
Fiber optic cables offer higher bandwidth and faster speeds compared to copper cables, making them ideal for high-demand applications like streaming and gaming. They are also less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and have a longer transmission distance without signal degradation. Additionally, fiber is more secure, as it is harder to tap into compared to copper. Overall, fiber provides a more reliable and future-proof solution for home networks.

Does lipozene really work?
No, not really. One study showed that participants only lost 3 pounds over a period of 8 weeks. Although advertising says that there are much better results, there is a disclaimer that reflects that average. Because of the difference of the promises vs the results, the FDA levied heavy fines against Lipozene. The main ingredient is glucomannan, a soluble fiber found in konjac root. This pill may have some unknown side effects associated with it, which is not displayed on its official website. See the "side effects" link below.
