Is to much fiber bad for you?

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.
