How much of each type of fiber is recommended?
Unfortunately, there aren’t any lists, sources, or databases that list soluble versus insoluble fiber in foods. In the absence of that information, there is no point in recommending specific amounts by type. In addition, all fiber is considered beneficial to some degree, and few people consume the minimum of the most readily-available type. However, given the numerous health benefits attributed to soluble fermentable fiber, and the difficulty in getting it from most diets, it makes to sense to focus attention in this direction.
