We can get plenty of fiber from green leafy vegetables and sources other then wheat. It is being discovered that wheat in the form it takes today can be very harmful to us. We've know the dangers of sugar for years, but we still see cereals that are loaded with sugar and corn syrup.

Personally, I have a heaping teaspoon of sugar free psyllium powder in a glass of water every morning. That is more than enough fiber for any human being. Then as I said, along with plenty of protein, and fat, I eat salad, broccoli, spinach and other fiber rich veggies.

Not me, just quoted the article and study results.
