I'm a big fan of Jane Brody of the NY Times, her latest article talks about diverticulosis and the importance of fiber, you can read it at:

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/26/health/nutrition/26BROD.html?rd=hcmcp?p=042hYP042hZo43236012000mpYDDpYGy

She writes of fiber:

"The potential benefits of a high-fiber diet accrue not just to one's digestion. Dietary fiber also helps to prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering blood levels of cholesterol, it helps to maintain a stable blood sugar level and thus prevent adult-onset diabetes, and it helps a person achieve and maintain a normal body weight.

Dietary fiber gives people something for nothing. Since it passes through the digestive tract undigested, it enhances feelings of satiety without adding calories to a person's diet. In other words, fiber fills you up before it fills you out."
