A diet with plenty of high fiber foods helps to keep our digestive system healthy and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

As you mention, high-fiber foods help move waste through the digestive tract faster and easier. So I assume that possibly harmful substances do not have as much contact with the gastrointestinal tract and less is absorbed into the body. If I relate this to your previous article “Are Organic Foods Worth the Cost”; perhaps a diet rich in fiber may assist in reducing the higher amount of pesticides and other chemicals which may result from a diet of non-organic food?
