Answer 2

Fiber cannot be digested by the body so it is better to eliminate it from food -False.

Explanation:

• Fibers play an important role in our diet. Fibers are not absorbed and they stay in stool.
• They have high osmotic power.
• As a result they drag water into the stool.
• This makes the stool soft. This they prevent constipation.
• Also, they prevent re-absorption of bile in the food and they lower the cholesterol level in the blood.
• Since, bile salts are the products of cholesterol. Hence, they prevent hypercholesterolemia.
