Dietary fibre is actually a form of  carbohydrate that does not get digested by enzymes in our small intestine, and so its sugar units are not absorbed into the bloodstream.  Dietary fibre is therefore known as ‘non-glyceami"‘. However, fibre has important effects on other nutrients within the small intestine and through effects on the large intestine, where few other nutrients arrive intact.  It has a range of valuable health effects: Smooths out digestion and absorption of glucose and fats in the small intestine.  It reduces the Glycaemic index of a meal. Provides fuel for the healthful or  good bacteria in our large intestine  which in turn benefit us by making Vitamin
