Dr. Oz is on the Oprah show right now talking about how Fiber is so good for you. He says the average American has less than 7 grams of fiber a day. He says that is nothing. Apparently women are supposed to have about 25 grams of fiber a day and men are supposed to have about 35 grams of fiber a day.

Dr. Oz says the best source for fiber come from beans and bran.

Dr. Oz is also talking about Calcium and how we need about 1200 mg a day. He says getting enough Calcium can help get rid of fat because the Calcium soaks it up. But Calcium by itself can make you constipated so you are supposed to have it with about 800 mg of Magnesium.

I like watching Dr. Oz. That is about the only time that I watch the Oprah show... is when he is on. I find him very informative!

I bet it is because your body can only absorb so much fiber or anything in any one setting... the rest travels through the boby to fast and exits as waste.
