    Dietary fiber refers to carbohydrate polymers that are not broken down by human digestive enzymes. Functional fiber refers to isolated or synthetic fiber that may provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Fiber can lower plasma cholesterol levels through several mechanisms: (1) Fiber binds to bile acids in the intestine and prevents their reabsorption, increasing their excretion. (2) The liver uses cholesterol to synthesize new bile acids to replace the lost ones, reducing plasma cholesterol levels. (3) Viscosity of soluble fiber in the intestine slows absorption of lipids and cholesterol from the intestine into the bloodstream.
