Roughage is not digested in human intestine. Also called fibers. That is a gift of 'God' to human being that you are lacking the enzyme. Which is necessary to brake the beta Glycosidic bond present in cellulose and other dietary fibers. Roughage gives bulk to the feces. So you have motion more frequently. This protects you from cancer of colon and rectum. By washing away toxic products. So 'roughage' is a must in diet.
