“…The fecal neutral sugar content of the human wheat bran feces was 7.9 g/day and of the human cellulose feces, 19.0 g/day. Daily neutral sugar intake derived from dietary fiber was approximately 30 g with the wheat bran diet (Johnson et al, 1988) and 24 g during the cellulose diet (Slavin et al, 1983). Comparison of daily total neutral sugar intake with excretion in the humans indicates that daily neutral sugar excretion with wheat bran supplemented diet was 26% of that consumed, and with the cellulose-supplemented diet, neutral sugar excretion was 79% of that consumed.…”
