Search Internet: Check out reputable websites for medical information. I like the mayo clinic which offers following re fiber in food: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/high-fiber-foods/nu00582. Of course, what's reputable to one person might not be to another. Still, the info here seems reasonable: http://www.Todaysdietitian.Com/newarchives/063008p28.Shtml. Plenty more lists available online, all w/similar info.
