There are actually two types of fiber - soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in foods like oat bran, broccoli, and apples. It SLOWS the movement of food through the intestines. Insoluble fiber, found in wheat bran, dried beans (like kidney and pinto) and celery, SPEEDS up movement trough the intestines. You need BOTH types of fiber to keep you healthy!
