Compare absorption in the small intestine with absorption in the large intestine?
Almost 90% of our daily fluid intake is absorbed in the small intestine.The small intestine is covered with villi and microvilli. They increase the surface area of the intestinal wall exposed to chyme by 60,000%. The increased surface area makes the small intestine very efficient in absorption. Capillaries in the villi absorb amino acids, glucose, fructose, and galactose while lacteals absorb fatty acid and glycerol to travel through the lymphatic vessels.
The large intestine serves as a reservoir for the liquids emptied into it, through the ileocecal valve, from the small intestine. It has a much larger diameter than the small intestine. The large intestine, or colon, may be divided into the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. The primary function of the colon is to absorb water and electrolytes (substances, such as salts, that in solution take on an electrical charge) from the ileal contents and to store fecal material until it can be evacuated by defecation.

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.
