Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The National Academy of Sciences recommends that the terms insoluble and soluble be phased out in favor of attributing specific physiologic benefits to a particular fiber. Dietary fiber refers to intact and naturally occurring fiber found in plants. Functional fiber refers to fiber that has been isolated or extracted from plants that has beneficial physiologic effects in the body. The sum of dietary and functional fiber equals total fiber. Functional fiber is plant fiber that has been isolated or extracted from plants for the beneficial physiologic effects on the body. Total fiber is the sum of dietary and functional fiber. The term true fiber has no meaning in this chapter.
