Question 3

What are the potential hazards of consuming too much fiber?

Accepted Answer

Because fiber carries water out of the body, too much fiber can cause dehydration and intestinal discomfort. Also, iron is mainly absorbed early in the digestive process; thus, because fiber speeds the movement of foods through the digestive system, it may limit the opportunity for absorption of iron and other nutrients. Binders in some fibers link chemically with minerals such as calcium and zinc, making them unavailable for absorption and carrying them out of the body. Too much bulk from the diet could reduce the total amount of food consumed and cause deficiencies of both nutrients and energy. The malnourished, some older adults, and children, because they eat small amounts of food anyway, are especially vulnerable to these concerns.
