4. How does wheat bran work?

6. Do all high fibre cereals and bars have wheat bran?

   Just because a cereal is high in fibre, doesn't guarantee it contains wheat bran fibre. While all fibre is good for you, wheat bran is the best cereal fibre to promote regularity. That's why All-Bran* cereals and bars guarantee wheat bran as the primary source of fibre.

7. What's the difference between insoluble and soluble fibre?

   Insoluble and soluble fibre function very differently in the body and both are needed as part of a healthy diet. Insoluble fibre, like wheat bran fibre, doesn't dissolve in water. This is beneficial because it increases the bulk or weight of undigested food material and and speeds up the movement of this material through the digestive system helping to promote regularity.

   Soluble fibre is fibre that dissolves in water. When mixed with water in your body, the fibre turns into a gel-like substance. Generally, soluble fibres contribute to healthy blood cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar levels.
