That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Fiber refers to indigestible polysaccharides that form the tough fibrous walls of plants. Unlike starch and glucose, fiber cannot be broken down by the digestive enzymes in the human body. Instead, it passes through the digestive system largely intact, adding bulk to the stool and aiding in regular bowel movements. Fiber is known for its ability to promote digestive health, prevent constipation, and regulate blood sugar levels.
